Games like Civilization Revolutions?

Besides the obvious Civ series games on the PC

My Mum's been enjoying Civ Revolutions on the 360 a lot lately and just asked me if there's something else similar on the 360 or the PS2. I can't think of one

Any ideas?

There's always Catan, Carcassonne or even Kingdom for Keflings on XBLA and I think they're all pretty good fun.

Could your PC could handle AoE, Heroes of Might & Magic or Settlers?

Just as I was typing this I asked my mrs and she mentioned Viva Pinata; ok it's not exactly the same but does share similar mechanics...

Ooh forgot about Viva Pinata, I keep meaning to lend her my copy

I didn't think of XBLA titles, can you download them with a silver membership? Can't remember and she's not usually connected to XBox Live.

PC games are no good as she can't really stay on them for a huge length of time due to her neck/shoulder injury so she much prefers the sitting in front of the sofa method

*goes to dig out Viva Pinata*

There's that arcade game Outpost Kaloki.

You could also use some from the Xbox via backwards compatibility if there are any.

Can you download them with a silver membership though? I have no idea!

Yep

The trials might be restricted for the first week or something but certainly by now you'll be able to get it

Haly · 25-05-2009, 12:02

Ah cool

That's always an option then

Colonization? Is that on the 360?

Haly · 25-05-2009, 12:57

Nope, that's just PC

Edit: No ideas from anyone for PS2 games then?

That's ideally what I was looking for as I know pretty much what's available for the 360 but lost track with the PS2.
