From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

With less than two weeks left to Christmas, I'm sure some of you are wracking your brains for ideas on what to get for the other gamers in your life.  Well, we here in the GalCiv2.com Research Department have been diligently looking for ways to make your gift shopping easier.  After careful consideration and exhaustive research into the field of Great Gameplayology (it's a field, trust us, we're experts!) we feel that Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords is one of the best gifts you can buy (or ask for!) this holiday season.

But don't take our word for it!  Our findings have been confirmed through independent research conducted by the venerable institutions of Great Gameplayology (we still swear that's a science) known as Gaming Nexus and GamerDad. Both have placed Gal Civ 2: Dread Lords on their Holiday Buying Guides.

I highly recommend you check out these two Holiday Guides for ideas for both yourself, and to give to loved ones as hints to what you REALLY want.  Make sure to circle Gal Civ 2 with red marker when you print the articles and hand them out.

Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords is rated E-10+, meaning it's suitable for everyone 10 and older, so this is a game you can give guilt-free to your 12 year old nephew in Nebraska.

GC2 can be found in major retailers such as WalMart and BestBuy, or can be purchased directly (either a physical CD or Digital Download) from Stardock.  Order online and you don't have to wait in any lines!  Purchase for Digital Download and you don't even have to wrap anything!  The Stardock Store has the option to purchase an item for someone else, so the registration information can be emailed directly to them.  Digital Download is so convenient that you could order it Christmas morning and they'd have it immediately!

Wracking your brains!? Unless a person has bought every good game around, there are at least a dozen two wrack your wallet on. And regardless, you can always smash one of their favorite games and buy another copy.

Unfortunately all my money has already gone out to other people. Though I have already got my brother hooked on GC2, he has already planned to buy the expansion. I thought I'd preorder Sins of a solar empire and buy Garry's Mod 10 for myself...with the last of my money >.>. Hey, I am helping Stardock out twice this weekend, go me.
