Excellent - this is one game I'm sorely tempted by on 360 but given my history with Civ games (full of excitement for the prospect of playing them but never really that good and end up quitting once I start losing badly, which is usually quite quickly) it may be a bad idea. Demo FTW.

"We've asked 2K to clarify."

I'm not entirely sure but IIRC, XBL uses one unified QA system while PSN uses a QA system for each territory seperately.

The full game isn't due out for a month in the US, but for once in our wretched lives the news is better for us, with a European release on PS3 and 360 set for 13th June.

oh shi--

Loved Civ series since the first one on Amiga, I would really give a demo a great go to see if it would really translate that well. I know it is not a port of Civ 4 but made from ground up for the consoles and with very clearly a different style. Quite keen to see this work but read somewhere that once past a certain level of complexity everything in the game get slown down and that its affect gameplay.

If that is the case then would likely not shown up in demo and may be better off to keep cities number down and focus on scientific/space or diplomatic/UN victory? As you would need as many cities possible for the military or the economic victory I would think so.

Will look forward to the EG review.

Honestly, if the DS version's based of the same ruleset as the home versions, I'm glad they're not releasing it straight away. In a complex game like this, there are bound to be odd little rules and things that need fixing after release, so it's best to get them sorted before releasing a version that you can't update.

I hope it comes to the PSN soon, its quite cool downloading demos and playing them for a little bit... though Ive still got lots to do on full games of GTA and Grid, and about to get Mass Effect on Friday, its still nice to play something just for the fun of it.

That is generally why people play games, although WoW would be an exception to this rule.
