First off, it's the Greeks of the week, as the new Civilization of the Week on the official Civilization III website looks at the Greeks ("Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis? Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks...") with a description of their culture and trade inclinations, and a profile of the Hoplite, their unique unit. Also, GameSpy.com Previews Civilization III with a look ahead at the upcoming installment in this turn-based strategy series saying "Firaxis attempts to 'bring back the fun' to one of the most storied franchises in gaming." The preview offers comparisons between Civ III and some of the predecessors in its confusing family tree, saying "They feel that while the game's progeny added some complexity to the addictive gameplay, it did so at the expense of the fun factor. Civilization III looks like it will achieve their goal of advancing the franchise and making it more enjoyable and addictive than ever."
