Are there other games out there like Civ Rev?

[thefuzz]

I am curious if there are some others out there like that for 360.

A perfectly good way to waste a couple of hours that don't involve shooting things. ( I already pretty much every FPS)

Wow! I seriously just bought Civ Rev the other day. I have been playing the crap out of it everyday. Look me up on Xbox Live o803o VaDeR. Maybe we can play sometime. I havent had the balls to get online yet. I am sure I would get killed. Any Command and Conquer game is similar. I like the ones on the PC better though. Command and Conquer Generals is a great game, but only for PC.

There are a lot of strategy games for PC...

Xbox? Not so much.

I love Civ and I love my Xbox...but there is no way in hell I would want to play Civ on my Xbox.

In other words, if you love the game, you're doing yourself a disservice by playing it on console.

I would usually agree, but this game is different. It was designed for the console. It is not a copy of the PC game, like the Command & Conquer games.

I never played the PC one, but I am sure it is way more detailed and a better RTS, but my PC is crap, so Xbox will have to do, for me.

Xbox is fine if that is all you've got, but if you do have a PC capable of running the game, it's better on the PC...and I'm not a PC fanboy, I buy most games for my console.

Yeah, I always bought RTS games on PC. They are way better for some reason. I just dont have a PC that can handle gaming anymore.

There's a fugton of them for pc.

[Zaximus]

Yeah ton of RTS's on the PC. I wouldn't play them on X-box unless that's your only option. Some that come to mind, Warcraft 3 series, Age of Empires series, Rise of Nations, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc.

[thefuzz]

My computer is probably good enough to play on, but I have never used it for that, but I will give it a shot.

Civ Rev is the only game of it's kind that I find fun on XBox, but I have had a really good time with it for a couple of years now.

MaxZax, I am not into warlords, and dragons and such, are those titles pretty good games if I am just into building nations, armies, etc.

Warcraft, no. Age of Empires, yes. Rise of Nations, yes. Sins of a Solar Empire, yes with the caveat that it's in space.

Also all of the above are RTS (Real Time Strategy) as opposed to Civilization which is technically turn-based.

I am going to go get one.

Of the two (Age of Empires and Rise of Nations) which is the better game?

I guess it's personal preference (people consider AoE a classic) but I had more fun with Rise of Nations. I would avoid Age of Empires III if you go down that route though.

I loooooove civ rev. I got all the achievements, played for hours on end. A couple games like it for the 360 worth playing are command and conquer and Lord of the rings: battle for middle earth 2.

Now I know LOTR BMEII is pretty old but I LOVED that game, it is so fun to play. As people said there aren't many good RTS or TBS games on the 360 and most suck really hard but those two were pretty fantastic.

If you have a PC try Civ 4, it is legendary and right up your alley. Don't expect anything to really be likve Civ, they have their own identity but the two strat games I mentioned should keep you gaming for a while. Course if you have a PC there are a ton of strat games, RT and TB. I like real time but Civ did a great job at the TB.
