CIV 5 RELEASE JUST DAYS AWAY!!!

[StlSluggers]

The ten most disappointing games of 2010

1) Civilization V
This was the most disappointing game of the year because it brought to the Civilization series a really cool new feature -- tactical combat -- and then utterly neglected the AI needed to make it work. From there, the game fell apart entirely. Imagine a shooter where the AI enemies can't aim their guns or a racing game where the other drivers can't steer. The other questionable decisions -- watered down diplomacy, no religion, that strained policy tree -- all take a back seat to the very simple fact that Civilization V simply didn't work as it was designed. Read the review here.

I installed the latest 'big' patch, and the game is still boring.
