Civilization game is coming to Facebook

This is pretty neat. I wonder if it will have accelerated graphics and whatnot like previous iterations of the game or if it will be some cheesy, watered-down, text-based application.

This seems rather interesting. I'm actually going to happily await the arrival of this application.

Uh oh, this sounds dangerous as the game is soooooo addictive. People will be able to play this at work. There goes the economy.

"- to frustration that Firaxis isn’t developing the next version of "Civilization" for consoles."

Civ is first and foremost a PC game. A lot of the PC gamers became upset when we started seeing civ titles on the console. The fact that the next version of Civ is being developed for PC and not consoles is a good thing. PC to console games are usually watered down and no where near the same game, as what happened with Rainbow Six. Civ revolutions was just another watered down console game. If the new Civ had come out for console and not PC there may have been a revolt among the loyal civ players.

FAntastic....love the series ,
It will be a very good addition.

I love Civ and am still playing it on my PC at home. I look forward to playing it on Facebook. I am currently playing Evony and Torpia, two on-line games that are very similar to Civ.

A very good "addiction" indeed! hehehe

I just hope that they don't end up making it look like 95% of all the other games already on Facebook.

Sounds great, but with all the internet throttling going on, wonder how that will work with the game. Good thing I have it for my X-Box 360! No throttling of my speed with my own system and it is an awesome game by the way!

I hate facebooks apps and all those requests for gang members or posts that someone found a lost cow!

But this might acctually make me play one of those games.

It's great that people, and companies are finally waking up to the fact that videogames are a very strong force for entertainment in the everyday lives of more, and more people. Besides that I LOVE videogames, but I don't have a deticated system. I don't need one. I have a computer, cellphone, facebook, and of course the internet. I think this is the begining of the end for dedicated video game consoles. I don't see Nintendo making pokemon games for cell phones totally out of the question.

Wow I can't wait for this to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need a highly inteleligent guy to help me out on some software problems. Any takers? Geeks welcome, please?

hey i will be a beta tester if you need them ask facebook

This is a great idea. I've never played this game but would certainly give it a shot if it came to facebook and was free!! amoor124 itis.

Great! One more facebook app i will choose to hide so as not to have to see my friends' status updates about it.

OMG! now i am going to be on FB forever! i already waste a lot of time on FB. regardless this will be AWESOOOOOOOME!!!!!!
