2K Games have announced that four of their games are being pushed onto Steam. The games are Sid Meier's Pirates!, Civilization III, Civilization IV and Shattered Union.

The list is pretty weird: who in their right mind would buy Civ III when they can pick up Civ IV for pretty much the same price? Civ IV is just hugely superior.

Pirates! is the real prize here, though. It was pretty much my GOTY in 2004, mostly because it just perfectly updated my nostalgic memories of entire nights spent with my buddy Mike as a teenager, drinking Coke, eating bacon cheeseburger subs and "Yargh!"ing at each other as we played Pirates! Gold on the Genesis. Give it a shot if you haven't already: I think it's my favorite Sid Meier game/. Florian Eckhardt
