While at the PAX East convention the end of last month, I got to attend a 20 minute game demo of the new Firaxis/2K game Civilization V.

A few days ago Sid Meier, the man much revered and cursed for creating the uber-amazing 4X series Civilization, announced the coming of Civilization Network to Facebook. Farmville eat your heart out.

If you never found a reason to join Facebook, this is it. I expect this to be a total time and life suck. I hope it works on Facebook Mobile. You have until 2010 to get your life in order for this one. In the meantime you can join the official page at http://www.facebook.com/civnetwork
