Lenovo X220 T Tablet test no. 5 Sid Meier`s Civilization V and Alpha Centauri played with pen and touch

And so you bought Civ V last weekend ... you are having big fun being a virtual megalomaniac .. but all that mouse clicking is a drag and so mid 80s in an Apple Lisa kind of way ...  well ok thegameveda finds all that mouse clicking or trackpad sliding totally square ... and I don`t care if it is made out of shiny new glass and you can do three finger swipes ... no.... no way does thegameveda put any faith in that hokey cokey mouse or track pad clicking ... give me a good pen and multitouch every time .. 


So here are two Sid Meier classics one old and one new , with tests of how you could control them using multitouch and pen input .  The pen input on the Lenovo X220T really adds finesse to touch control , even when Apple eventually move to a full OSX Lion touch Mac Air a pen may prove mightier than a 3 fingered swipe ( I can dream... you should see me in Apple Temples touching the screens of all the Macbook Pros and Airs ... not so subtly suggesting wouldn't it be cool if we had the touch control of an iPad on the screen or dual screen of a Mac Air.....who knows maybe Steve is watching from his dormant volcano secret base)

 First up Civilization V : 

and then we have a little Alpha Centauri gameplay which I still think is better than Civ V !
