You might not know this about me, but Civilization III was the first game that really grabbed my attention for  more than a few months.  Once I noticed I'd been playing the same game for three years, I said to myself "Self, you might be a gamer."  Since Civ is such an integral part of my gaming history, I was sort of disappointed with Civilization V.  It seemed like Firaxis wasn't really adding anything new to the franchise, and apparently I wasn't the only one who noticed.

The latest dev diary for the game's expansion, Gods and Kings, aims to fix that issue by giving us eight new cultural additions, including a series first:  Religion.  After watching this I have to say, I think I am kind of excited about this expansion pack.

Civilization V: Gods and Kings will be available tomorrow for Mac and PC.  Watch the dev diary for yourself today, right after the jump.
