@goatonastick: I have about five games on my iPad that have graphics that are more technically more advanced than these, but this game by far has the best art direction. You really need to see it in movement too. It moves like something between an old storybook and a classic 8 bit game. It's meant to emit nostalgia…

@koichan: Oh geez. I found the Al Gore internet technology to be funny in Civ 4 but I can't see myself enjoying it every other turn.

@Jaime Esqueda: Wow, is that really the case? Because that's still embarrassing for the Wii.

@Ad134: Man, is the game any better than the last one? I've heard mixed things, like conquest being the viable victory condition now. And I'm not going to lie, not getting history quotes from Grandpa Spock was kind of a deal breaker for me.

@BustingLenin: Oh you got to be kidding me.

Somewhere around "the studio that brought you Night at the Museum" I lost control of my insides.

@Cobaltios: Yeah it's sort of become Christmas Part I over the years. All the relatives, all the food, none of the gifts or egg nog.

@hurricanedj: Different games require different controls. I could never see myself playing Angry Birds or Rolondo on a DS.

About a week ago you guys posted an article about how clever the developers of the Conduit 2 are and how they were able to cleverly use the Wii's weaker hardware to make graphics that looked comparable to an Xbox360 title.

@lunarworks: Oh man! You mean you guys got it already? Stupid Canadians and your country that exists in a temporal rift one month in the future :P

@Pirandello: Oh my god! What is up with that? I swear. Every random map I play, Ghandi's right there, rolling with fascism, invading everyone's countries, and starting up all kinds of bad shit. It's a good thing I'm in a defensive pact with reasonable people like Genghis Khan.

I would check this out if Civ 4 wasn't so completely addicting. That shit is dangerous.

Meh, it’s hard for me to spend 1000 bucks on something which really runs like a nice netbook. Granted, an iPad is really overpriced as well, but you’re mainly paying for the touch screen and ridiculous battery life. I’m one of those mutants that actually prefer typing on my iPad’s touch screen over keeping a keyboard…

So, did these guys see Zemeckis’s last few films or do they still think testing the boundaries of the uncanny value with bizzarro quasi-realistic cartoon people is a good thing?

The only thing that could make this better would be if he found a way to include a human infant.

Wow, talk about mentally restructuring two complete different books so you can cleanly divide the world into two opposing spectrums. But, hey, I guess creating them versus us imaginary situations is what Glenn Beck is used to doing anyway.

No thanks. My desire for an iphone is based out of the need to have fewer items in my pockets by condensing my phone and ipod touch. Having a mifi kind of negates this. Besides, doesn’t that thing only have four hours of batter life?

@mykalt45: Really? I couldn’t stand the first one. It played out like a cheesey horror movie where lame supporting character after lame supporting character gets killed off every five minutes to the point of numbness. The PG-13 rating also made it feel as if I was watching a movie where every other shot was shortened…

@Starwatcher: You’re thinking of Adaptation when Chris Cooper is backing up the car with his wife and a truck slams into them. It’s such an alarming shot because it takes place from inside the car rather from outside it.

So wait, what the heck is the deal with this thing? Does it even have different specs? I usually just put a case around these things anyway.
