 | Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $18.94 Civilization on the computer may be too hardcore for some but this simplifies the game and makes it playable for virtually everyone. It is the definative desert island game!

 | Fire Emblem
Buy used from: $22.00 This is quite possibly the best tactical game I've played. I know lists like these are pretty much just a matter of taste but I really like the style of Fire Emblem. I love the SRPG genre and no two battles are ever the same.
