Appletell reviews Civilization IV: Colonization for Mac OS X

I might like Civilization IV: Colonization better if it were just called “Colonization,” rather than associating it with probably the best game series of all time. Then again, maybe not; its restrictive gameplay and limited amount of power in a “god game” make it something of a throwback to the early days of graphic gameplay. Considering how far simulations have come in the last two decades, Colonization comes off more like a mini-game in the scheme of something much grander.
