Shouldn't best of anything wait until it is released? Maybe not so much to prove that its good (because we all know it going to be good), but rather because saying this game will be the best is like rubbing salt into an open wound (because we still have to wait before we play the finished product).

Disappointment I was expecting an article or at least a description of the game. There was nonething.

This will cause mixed fealings first this will cause an audience of gamers that will probably expecting something like starcraft when they will get Galactic civilizations. This may bring new people to the game. More likely this will cause a lot of people to buy this game expecting something else. Hopefully I'm wrong, and all this does is cause the fan base to get bigger.

Never heard that one before. Is it regional?

Yeah, this isn't jumping the shark. It is a pretty ridiculous title for a list, since we can't know what the best games of 2014 are when zero games have come out in 2014, and some of the games on the list won't be in "release" until 2015.

A better title would have been "games we're excited about in 2014".

The likelihood that anyone is going to go out and buy galciv based on a paragraph mention in any of these recent lists seems low.  By the time this game is in beta or getting closer to launch, there will be plenty of other writeups that are more informative.  I doubt many will think that it is anything other than a 4X game.  

Wasn't it the Fonz who jumped the shark on water skis?

I liked Happy days as a kid.

So any projected estimate of when Beta will be operational ?

So is anyone going to reply to my question?

What about Alpha? Any predicted start date for Alpha?

Awesome. Well thank you for responding to my post. Much Appreciated !
