Update brings needed fixes to a great game.

Party like it’s 1999! At least, that’s what I thought when this update to Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri was announced. Seeing that the first update to CIV: BE also produces similar changes to the game as did Alpha’s, I wondered what’s the point? Gorgeous graphics and ambient creepiness make this the best looking and sounding CIV game ever—that’s the point! But I still prefer the mechanics of CIV IV to CIV II+ (aka CIV V) and this, "Alpha Centauri” on steroids. Finally, the aspect ratio of the loading screens have been fixed on my MBP. Yes, that’s you get when you upgrade until you buy the DLC. But that’s a separate story (and I’ll update this review accordingly).
