I thought that I would be spending most of this past Thanskgiving weekend plowing through Assassin’s Creed II, maybe starting some Brutal Legend, and even getting in more time with Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. All of that changed when Stardock put Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition on sale for $20 this Thanksgiving holiday. Gal Civ II was a game I had on my “to buy” list for a long time, but after I tried out the demo, I felt it was too complicated so I shrugged it off and set it aside. The sale rekindled my curiosity so I tried once again to jump into it and this time it stuck. By the time I realized what had happened, I was already late for bed last night and cursing the fact that I had to come into work today. I was on the cusp of galactic victory. How could such a thing be denied?!
