Recently, Joystiq has posted a video trailer for a new Sid Meier's Civilization game, this one named Beyond Earth (video here). Anyone who is unfamiliar with the Civilization games, they are a series of turn based stratergy games where the player can play versus AI or other players, and the aim of the game is to win via Culture (making the people like you), which has ended mainly in the United Nations, through Global Domination caused by wiping all other players from the map or via Scientific Advancement into Space. As you can guess from the title, the game is set in space, where Earth has become so advanced that it is starting to kill the planet so they set out to form a new life elsewhere. As far as I can see from the screenshots (link here), the game will put you up against aliens rather than players, so whether it will be classic PvP racing to take control of this new planet, or maybe co-op in a bid to secure the planet from the aliens and colonise on it I do not know. However, it does look like a Civilization game, which I have enjoyed playing ever since Civilization Revolution, the most cartoon-esque title in the series. However the game turns out, it will likely be a lot of fun and I Will probably pick it up.
