Although the vanilla version of the game didn't quite live up to standard, the game's expansion packs in Gods & Kings and Brave New World lifted the game to another level--with complex gameplay that delivered in addition to pretty good graphics. I personally find that the ability to play as up to 43 civilizations absoutely depicts the endless possibilities to conquering this game. Unique about Civ V is its ability to never fully bore you, as there are always new challenges, maps, civilizations, scenarios, victories, difficulties, and more to keep you going for one more turn. Furthermore, Civ V has a vast multiplayer experience like no other, with the ability to customize settings nearly just as precise as you can with singleplayer. The ability to all take turns at the same time and progress through time together is fantastic. A nifty little scoreboard even shows how your civlization stacks up against your friends. However, multiplayer or not Civ V has become a timeless classic for myself and many of my other friends. I will admit that I haven't played Civ VI (yet), but honestly I really don't know how the developers can top what they've done with this game. The game is nearly perfect, although I would appreciate if the AI was a bit more realistic. I've often found myself betrayed by my greatest ally in a matter of just a few turns, and I've even seen wars occur among AI that last only a couple of turns. Trading with the AI could also be a little challenging sometimes, but for the most part it isn't too big of a problem, because overall the AI does do a pretty good job balancing the game out. In conclusion, I certainly recommned Civ V to anyone who hasn't purchased the game. It's a well thought-out game with overwhelming positives and very little negatives about it. A must play for sure.

A game that's more than just your average first-person shooter, Counter Strike: Global Offensive delivers great graphics along with gameplay that incorporates a whole different, challenging, mindset than your average Call of Duty game. A great game for not just new players, but seasoned veterans alike. Just don't get carried away with skins like I did.

Entertaining, addicting must-have game
