Civ Rev Trailer Stars Shacknews' Jason Bergman

Best headline ever.

Funny story about this trailer:

I spoke so fast during recording that it needed to be mechanically slowed down. The second set of trailers we're doing I spoke a lot slower, but apparently my New York upbringing makes me talk a mile a minute.

I think everyone else just needs to hear faster. :)

so what is the difference between this CIV and say CIV4? other then being on a console. If i already own CIV4, should i buy this one as well?

meh, no stores had received copies (on the scheduled day of release) here :(

Semi-off-topic: Bergman was the writer who made me a regular Shack reader and also inspired me to apply twice for the LNC position. Congrats, Jason! You and your team did a fine job. I am addicted to the demo and will be buying a 360 edition and two DS editions (one for me, one for the woman, who is also addicted) the moment it becomes available here in the States.

What I like most about CivRev (from the hours I've sunk into the demo, of course) is how the team managed to efficiently compress all the regular Civ details into a console interface. It's tight and not at all unwieldy, which is a true accomplishment. I was worried about Civ being consolized, and it was - but perfectly and without any real hit to what makes the games so great.

Again, great job. You'll get at least $130 out of me come launch day!

Ah congratulations on the promotion! You could be a commentator on Zero Punctuation :) And a big THANKS for staying a part of the shack community.

Damn, I saw the trailer on another site (sorry, Steve) and totally missed it was Jason!

The game is really good guys, i'm looking forward to some multiplayer mayhem when a few more people on my friends list get it!

Congrats for moving up to Producer. You started as a community manager, right?

Any trailer that lacks 1) Duke Nukem or 2) Gary Busey sucks.

(No, seriously a good first job on that).

This game looks really good. Too bad I don't own any of those systems and am horrible at all Civ games. :(

Wait this is coming out on DS? What's that version like? I love DS strategy games.

Tons o congrats Jason! Glad to see community members thriving and good, geniune people landing their dream jobs.

The PS3 version didn't do it for me, but I'm super excited for the DS version! Can't wait!!
