PC PowerPlay - Exclusive preview

[The Rusty Gamer]

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned but I've haven't the patience to wade through umpteen threads.

I've just bought the latest (October) issue of PC PowerPlay which is an Australian magazine so many of you may not have seen it. The cover story is an exclusive preview of CIV III.

Their web-site is www.pcpowerplay.com.au.

what? not even for a scanned screenshot?
man, i heard the anuni-cookies are teh best, too!
hey, Russell, maybe if you give us ALOT of info Anunikoba might break down and share his awsome cookies with you!

[Sarxis]

The only cookies I will be sharing are the ones that come out of my 'Temporary Internet Files' folder.

But seriously, we all would appreciate those scans! I was almost thinking about looking for that magazine, but I know that the odds of finding it here in the States is close to NULL.

We shall send our Ozzie brute squad - including such vicious characters as Alexander's Horse, tonic, finbar, Youngsun, and MidKnight Lament - to muscle out Russell if he fails to comply with our demands.

To quote from the article:

PCPowerPlay has been fortunate enough to play an entirely exclusive pre-release version of Civilization III - the only copy in Australia. While only 70% complete, this playtest proved that the spirit of Civ is recreated in all its glory.

I'm currently in the process of compiling some bits of the article which I'll then post.
