Here's an amusing preview of Sid Meier's Pirates! The piece is a fast and easy read that sums up the upcoming title, nice and tight-like. It makes me want to play the game, actually. Apparently, Meier initially thought that the game would be able to use his old combat engine. But on closer inspection of today's market the team at Firaxis opted for an all-new system, designed by the master himself. The overall gameplay sounds like it's going to be like a slower-paced Wario-Ware, with a slew of microgames to keep you tittilated between battles.
