Take One More Turn With The Humble Sid Meier Bundle
If you have the slightest interest in a) strategy games, b) world domination, or c) squares and/or hexes, the latest Humble Bundle is something in which you might be interested. Strategy mastermind Sid Meier is attached to every one of the titles on offer.
This two-week bundle is split up into three tiers. At the “pay what you want” level are Civilization III Complete, Civilization IV Complete, Ace Patrol, Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies, and Sid Meier’s Railroads. If you pony up more than the average, you’ll get Civilization V and the first major expansion, Gods & Kings.
Pay more than $15, and you’ll also get the second major expansion, Brave New World. Paying more than the average also gets you the Civilization V soundtrack.
2K Games’ charity of choice is Action Against Hunger. Those that take advantage of the bundle can split their purchase among 2K Games, Action Against Hunger, and Humble Bundle (to support operations, like delivering these offers).

Our Take
You might be wondering why you’d want three different iterations of a strategy series. I’m glad you asked. There are changes to each version of Civ, and if you play all three, you might find that Civ V isn’t your favorite. The nuances present in each offer different experiences, and many Sid Meier fans return to older titles to experience them again for just one more turn.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
