Civilization V

Well, been waiting for ages for this to come up... And finally, it's here... Civilization V... the latest installment to Firaxis' Sid Meier's Civilization series... first, I've expect the controls to be more complex with new things coming up... However, it wasn't as complex as I thought, though I barely have enough time to try out the game recently... But as far for I can say, the User Interface or UI is simple... very few options compared to what was seen in the previous installment... Civilizations from lesser known ares such as Siam and the Songhai were featured in this installment... However nice it looks, the army doesn't look like 3 gigantic soldiers walking around the map... but instead an entire regiment of soldiers... compared to Civilization IV... one more thing to add is that we can all kiss the squares goodbye and welcome back to the Hexagons... in Civilization V, we will not be using the squares like we did in Civilization IV...Hexagons have returned to replace the tiles in Civilization V... Graphics was spectacular as the lighting has changed a lot from Civilization IV... what can you say? 5 years in the development... It has to be awesome... Though I would say that there will no longer villages to explore that gives you bonuses but ruins which gives you gold or manpower... overall, since I don't get to play much bout the game... I leave it for another time before I'll be rating this game...

My first street fighter experience since the NES era...

Amazingly, I have not played Street Fighter for a long time... And recently, I've managed to get my hands on Street Fighter 4... of course, my girlfriend had never touched it... until recently... So, while she was giving a shot at Street Fighter 4... she had managed to get a hang of almost all the characters except Bison... Me, on the other hand, sucked at all the characters except Sagat... the Muay Thai fighter from the first Street Fighter... and amazingly, though I always do suck at fighting games, Sagat was the only character that I've managed to master well enough to try to fight Seth... pathetic eh? of course... i got pwned badly while fighting Seth... amazingly, my girlfriend managed to use the other fighters way better than i do... though i usually don't last the first round... except for Sagat... pathetic but true...

Sagat pwning little Ryu as usual...

the big bad boss of Street Fighter in the previous series... only to be replaced by the awesomeness of Seth
