Late to the Party – Crusader Kings II

First off, this is not a review of this game, I have not played it nearly enough for me to feel I could confidently review it, this is me reacting to the game. I purchased Crusader Kings II a good long while ago on a random steam sale. In my impressive backlog of games I need to still play, it was one of many that I had heard was worth a look. When I first attempted to play it the bizarre UI and the broken Tutorials turned me off fast, I had a lot of other games to work through and I just wasn’t quite dedicated enough to it to work through it at the time and uninstalled it.

Way too Late Video Game Review – Civilization V – Brave New World

The Completion of a Masterpiece

Civilization V has been a more than worthy standard bearer of the Civilization series, yes it originally lacked a few systems from previous iterations, but it was a polished game with a few fresh ideas that made it a good Civ, if not the best. Brave New World changed that and with it Civ 5 becomes the high watermark for the legendary strategy franchise.
