I decided to look for GalCiv2 at the local EB Games franchise, which I found eventually. StarDock’s 4X game had so much praise, that I thought it might be interesting to add this one to my (already bulky) HD.
The good thing is that GalCiv’s (as recent as the game is) system requirements aren’t too high, which means that it will run on the ‘average’ P4 2.4 GHz laptop with a generic Intel GMA graphics adapter. If you consider that GalCiv was just released this year and compare that with the absolutely ridiculous stuff requirements Civ 4 needs: well, the rest is history.
