February saw the first of the year's major AAA titles land -- or at least the ones that were delayed from 2014 -- but March was when gamers truly got to get excited. Sony got some more exclusives. Indie darlings dropped their long-awaited sequels. Some long-awaited Kickstarter projects were finally released to the public, and there was even a new Mario Party to crow about.
For all I know, Sid Meier's Starships is a fantastic iPad game (and, yes, it's also available on iPad). But I don't know, because I've been playing it on PC, where it kinda sucks.
While hotly anticipated, Firaxis' Civilization: Beyond Earth didn't quite live up to the hype upon release, leaving players desperate for some sort of sci-fi 4X goodness. The developer looks like it wants to address that need with its recently announced title, Sid Meier's Starhships. In this clip, a panel featuring Meier at PAX South explains the motivations behind Starships, as well as providing a hefty chunk of gameplay.
There's going to be even more sci-fi-styled Civilization action coming this spring, with a new strategy game coming from legendary game designer Sid Meier picking up where Civilization: Beyond Earth left off.
