I should be a little reluctant to admit this, but I find the cinematics (the movies that bridge one section of a video game with another) fascinating.  For instance, I like Blizzard’s “StarCraft” but when I am being honest to myself I admit that I care slightly less about the gameplay than the cool little movies seeded throughout the game.

Which brings me to ‘Sid Meier‘s Beyond Earth.”  I have never played any of the ‘Sid Meier’ games, nor do I have any desire to.

But what an awesome trailer!
