Civ Revolution doesn't even deserve the moniker "Civ Light." It's a bad port to mobile devices. My daughter LOVES Revolution, but as I am beholden to the 'real' version I cannot play Revolution for more than a few minutes. It's like the difference between Harrison Ford and Corky.

Not that there's anything wrong with Corky...it's just night and day between the two.

Me, either. But yes. I thought you were a child of the 80s, Gus.

I'm a diehard Civ fan since the first iteration I played on the PlayStation One.  I own Revolution for my Nintendo DS.  It keeps me from going insane when I can't be in front of the PC to play Civ IV.  That's the best thing I can say about Revolution.

So it looks like Civ 5 IN SPAAAAACE!  But still on a planet.   ???

Will the factions play differently or anything?

The screenshot with the article looks a lot like Matrix's Pandora. Not saying they play the same, just the look.

Knowing GMG, it will probably go on sale a few more times before release - perhaps even the week of.  I'll get excited as October comes closer.

On my must-buy list, but I can wait until the price goes down.
