As was mentioned yesterday, Civilization: Beyond Earth was released for purchase and download on Steam, the Mac App Store, and on GameAgent. Also announced yesterday was that we will be running a giveaway. So, without further ado, we are pleased to reveal that we have obtained four redemption codes for this game to give away to our readers.

Civilization: Beyond Earth is a science-fiction-themed game that is set in a future where global events have destabilized the world leading to a collapse of modern society. With a new world order in place, the human race struggles to recover while re-developed nations focus on making deep space travel possible in order to find a new beginning for mankind. Keep an eye out on MacNN for our hands-on review of the game, which will be coming soon. The game retails for $50, but four readers will win copies of their very own.



To enter, click here, agree to our terms and conditions, and answer one skill-testing question. Mailing list signup is required to be selected; if you have already signed up for a mailing list, please place a check in the box next to the list you have signed up for. The giveaway is open to residents of US and Canada only, and closes on December 5.

Beware! Read the system requirements before buying on the App store. This game REQUIRES Yosemite and certain GPUs are not supported. As a Thanksgiving treat my son bought it steam to run on his Macbook Pro which is running 10.9. So now he's running it on my Macbook. Meanwhile my wife bought it off the App store to run on her Macbook Air, which is a year newer than my Macbook only to find that the Intel HD 3000 graphics on her machine is not supported. So in all we're down over $70 with nothing much to show since you can't play a multiplayer game with only one working machine!

Oh, you could say that they should have read the specs before buying but it's Thanksgiving day and they were all excited to see that the game they had been waiting for months for was released!
Beware of geeks bearing Gifs
