Any opinions *based*on*actual*games*played out there? 

I am not entirely sold on this; I've played GalCiv  since the OS/2 
version first came out, and I still pull out Twilight of the Arnor from 
time to time - it's a great 4x, I love it.

But from what I see in most reviews, GalCiv 3 is more or less same old, 
same old, with glitzy graphics and 64bit only support (not a problem for 
me) but  .... otherwise? Is there any real, compelling innovation that's 
worth shelling out $60NZ ??? If so, I haven't seen it mentioned in any 
of the reviews.

I'm stuck between "I want a new toy" and "I'll wait until Steam does a 
half price weekend special or some such, because there really isn't any 
rush to get this". 

-P.
