Years after I bought each component for my head-fi system, I am very happy with it and I would probably not change out anything for the time being.

http://www.civilization5.com/   Anyone here got this game? I am thinking about buying it from Steam today. I read a bunch of reviews online and they do not happen to coincide with user reviews of the game. I am wondering about that. I played Civilization 1 years ago on an ancient PC and I...
