fantastic game so far, would recommend it

great game

Civilization V is one of the only civ games I ended up liking, the reason is simple and yet not simple.

Art: the art style and grathics over all are very nicely done and give the game a good feel to it that does not feel repeditive.
the models are very nice and detailed for how close up you can get to the models.
From what I have seen after a good amount of hours of playing the textures blend nicely fading from one land scape to the other with out seeming out of place or unrealistic.

Game play: the turn based style used with the combination of the grin system for unit movement makes a massive differents for me personally. The different civilizations you can play as with out modding is great and feel different from one another.

Over all: as a whole civV is a great game for anyone who like turned based games. There is just one massive problem with this game, that is the amount of time you can through into it without realizing it.
I was going to play it for a few turns and then play another game, when I looked at the clock five hours had passed. So do beware that if you sit down to play this for a little while that a allarm is needed.

I can't say if ARK is a good game or not, why? because even on lowest setting it won't load the local single player game. Ones its better optimized and I have a chance to try it again I will write a proper review but as it stands I would not recommand this.
