Civilization Revolution is a game that I very much enjoyed playing on the Xbox 360. It was fun, it was different from most other games that I was playing at the time and it offered much replayability.

Today, 2K Games announced that Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution App for the iPad is now available on the App Store. And suddenly I've begun to really, really want an iPad. I have a feeling this game would be awesome on the iPad. Plus, they are selling it for relatively cheap as compared to many other first launches for the iPad. Currently, it's priced at 12.99. That's a very hard offer to pass up.

The game offers hundreds of hours of gameplay from developer Firaxis Games. Exclusive to the app is the World/Scenario Creator, an entirely new feature that allows players to customize the world and game parameters to create hundreds of different scenarios and game types, providing limitless hours of entertainment. Additionally, the Civ Rev App for iPad has been updated and optimized for the iPad's large screen and includes an enhanced user interface that improves the fidelity of world map tiles, leader portraits and icons; and offers a broader view of the world map, enabling increased vision and strategy for tactical gameplay.
