Perhaps in celebration of Civilization V's recent reveal, Direct2Drive is offering Civilization IV -- as well as the standalone Civilization IV: Colonization -- for 33% off. Other deals on the direct download service this weekend include Supreme Commander: Gold Edition, Majesty The Fantasy Kingdom Sim: Gold Edition, and more.
If you're one of the few who doesn't "get" the Civilization addiction epidemic, which has swept the world over the last two decades leaving workplace productivity in shambles, consider yourself luckier than the folks in the video after the break. Yes, Civilization Revolution was solid, but CivIV has the uncanny ability to turn the sweetest old lady into a crazed destroyer of all mankind. Basically, It's fun for the whole family.

A truly great franchise. Even the handheld Revolution iterations were superb.
Revolution on the 360 was my first exeperience w/Civ which led to the more complex PC versions. Cannot wait for V - can we get some gameplay footage Sid? Pretty, pretty please?

Civ IV is awesome. I have gone into the depths of my CivIV binge and gone through my twelve steps of recovery. I had a blast and it was damn worth it!
And I aint apologizing to noboby! Tiger Woods is stupid.
