Civilization V announced

You know Sid Meier, if you wanted to kill my love life, there are other less expensive ways you could do it! My significant other already spends an ungodly amount of time with what I call his “digital mistress”. With the improvements you’re making for Civilization V, I’ll probably never see him again (its okay though, I’ve been seeing Uncharted 2 on the side).

The latest installment of Civilization will have some exciting changes. First, a new hexagonal tiled map, with “more strategic options in battle”. A new engine provides updated and breathtaking graphics, while a new player hub allows users to set up multi player battles, and swap custom community-created content.

For the more casual (or social networking obsessed) Civilization player, Sid Meier is also working on a Facebook version of the game, called Civilization Network. Whatever your level of commitment to the newest in Civilization, its sure to be a thrilling (read: addictive) experience!

    If anyone's curious, I just happened upon a blog that's giving out free Civilization 5 beta keys.

    They said they are doing it as a preventative measure against the rampant invite selling and scamming happening with the Starcraft 2 beta.

    I just signed up without entering any personal information or paying any kind of money.

    For those who want to try it out, the URL is here: http://civilization5betakeys.blogspot.com

    Hope you guys can join me and get some keys.

    Note to would-be beta key recipients: they do want you to fill out a survey. Proceed with caution.
