This Means War

It's been a long time since Shenmue first broke onto the scene. So is it any good? After spending recent time with the first game, Peter and Kevin tell us about their experiences.
Human beings are often afraid of new things. And apparently, I am afraid of moving my own floating cities.

"We take the communiques, and the diplomacy dialogue, those are all ways where we can not only share specific information, but flavor as well."
Civilization: Beyond Earth - The Rising Tide is certainly not lacking for flavor. Aliens new and old dot the landscape, as does that pesky miasma that complicates your voyages.
