RIGHT Civ is one
of those games
where you’ll
play ‘for a bit’
and, before you
know it, it’s
suddenly
midnight.


INSIDER CIVILISATION VI


My little empire


Civilization makes a triumphant


return to Xbox after a decade


Scenario Pack. Sadly the Nubia
Civilization & Scenario Pack and
Khmer And Indonesia Civilization &
Scenario Pack are only be available for
purchase separately.
Expansions previously released
on PC, Rise And Fall and Gathering
Storm, will be available in the separate
‘Expansion Bundle’. Rise And Fall
introduces a new Golden Age and
Dark Age for players to go through,
while Gathering Storm adds – among
other features – natural disasters like
hurricanes, tornadoes, river floods
and even volcanic eruptions that you’ll
need to contend with.
It’s been a long time since we’ve
played a Civilization game, but we’re
more than ready to claim world
dominance once again. Q

Fans of turn-based strategy games
can dust off their domination hats
as Firaxis Games has revealed that
Civilization VI will be coming to Xbox
One on 22 November. The arrival
of the sixth Civilisation game will
mark the series’ first appearance
on Xbox in over ten years, with
the last outing being the spin-off,
Civilization Revolution in 2008.
Given the long absence on Xbox,
this may be the first time that many
gamers have played a Civilization title.
In this incredibly in-depth turn-based
strategy game you take control of
and develop... well, a civilisation. You
take your nation through various eras
and claim victory over others through
different conditions, such as cultural
influence, military domination or
technological superiority, and become
ruler of the world. This is achieved
through strategic decisions involving
how you manage resources as well as
your relationships with other nations.

New horizons
Xbox owners will get four extra
content packs, which are (take a
deep breath) Poland Civilization &
Scenario Pack, Vikings Scenario Pack,
Australia Civilization & Scenario Pack
and Persia And Macedon Civilization &

BARREL


WATCH


GAMING’S FAVOURITE
PROP RATED BY OUR
RESIDENT COOPER

Streets Of
Rage 4
The greatest
thing about a
barrel is that
you can always
trust that it’ll provide you with
something useful, like samurai
swords or cooked chickens.

Sparklite
See those
sacks of stuff?
They’re a
barrel’s natural
prey. Here we
can see the wooden predator
sneaking up on these poor bags. It’ll
all be over soon...

Borderlands 3
Every barrel has
its own
aspirations and
goals, but one
of the most
common is to become an
accessory to murder by exploding
next to an unsuspecting victim.

Enter The
Gungeon
They say that
no gaming
dungeon is
complete
without barrels lining their walls,
but really no barrel is complete
without a dungeon.

Greedfall
In colonial times
it was a rule of
law to have at
least five or six
barrels stacked
on top of one another every 100
yards. No one knows why, but at
least they look nice.
