Hmmm, I just looked at their web page and didn't see GalCiv2 mentioned. Did I miss something?

Just saw the bit myself...figured that GC would get a 3...MAYBE a 4 out of 5....my jaw about hit the floor when they gave it a 5 out of 5

mostly, they saw the game as civ4 in space with Many different aliens, no end to customization, and a ship builder that will fulfill your hearts desire. and you could choose between political, economic, cultural, and military conquest on the galaxy (and all are equaly viable)

and they said all this in 3-4 minutes of a review

I don't get G4, but congratulations! Stardock deserves the praise it's getting.

That's a great score from that show. Those two are some real hardasses!

That is good getting a 5 out of 5. If I remember correctly, very few games have ever gotten a 5 out of 5 from them.

Aye they don't give a 5 out of 5 unless the game is really outstanding in its genre. Personally I expected them to give maybe a 4 out of 5 and nit pick about multiplayer or something. But to give it 5 that's awesome. As always you guys deserve all the good press you can get

Grats guys! The game is every bit a 5 out of 5 IMO, keep up the good work!

Congrats! They're the reviewers I usually pay attention to, due to their format, humor, and an honest rating system. Its a lot easier to get a feel for a game by watching video of it being played instead of just reading some text and looking at screenshots, and even if its a game you'd never play normally, they tend to add enough humor to keep their show interesting.

They have videos of many of their reviews up on their website, but they usually go up a few days later than the show airs (they have to give people some advantage to getting G4, especially since the rest of that network is horrid). If you check back on their site they'll probalby have the video up before too long.

I don't agree with half their reviews (though on a rare occasion there's an excellent one, even if I don't agree with it), and G4 in general is the pits, but this is good to hear.

Make sure this gets on the rewards list ASAP, is it too late to get it on any print ads?

Congrats, you deserve it. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations! I haven't watched that show since G4 destroyed Tech TV.


Aye. Right before G4 took over, I was excited, thinking: "Cool, more video game content." Then the switch and mutilation of "The Screensavers", how disappointing.

Anyways, congrats on the great review, I do remember Adam and Morgan, glad to hear they still have a show. Can respect their opinion, just not their network.
