‘Civ V’ and ‘Club Penguin: Game Day!’ in stores this week
New video games being released this week:
“Sid Meier’s Civilization V” — The long-running turn-based strategy series get a graphics and sound face lift while, we hope, retaining the same addictive gameplay.

Make history with one of 18 historical civilizations. Rated E-10+ for Everyone 10 and Older. $50 or $100 for “Standard” or “Special Edition,” for Windows PCs.
“Club Penguin: Game Day!” — The console-friendly version of the online kid-friendly virtual world comes to the Nintendo Wii with 12 Game Day challenges like “Dance Off!,” “Sumo Smash” and “Fast Freeze,” the ability to play with up to four players and a mode to create your own penguin. Rated E for Everyone. $50, for Nintendo Wii.
