Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Sid Meier's Civilization V: Wonders of the Ancient World Scenario Pack. The downloadable content for the popular strategy game provides players with three new wonders to build and a new scenario to conquer.

Here's an excerpt:

The Mausoleum of Haicarnassus might look like something difficult to pronounce, and it is, but it is a lot more than just a trick question in a spelling bee. This monument provides extra gold to you as you construct the wonder itself, and work tiles containing marble and stone. This is a great addition to your empire if you’re aiming for dominance in terms of economics.

The Statue of Zeus is like the Ancient Greeks believed, a place to create confidence and pray for Greeks in war. This majestic God up in the mountains of Olympia was said to wield bolts of lightning against people he didn’t like, and if you got on his good side he would offer rewards. In this case the rewards boost your civilization with an added bonus to attacking cities. If you sacrifice making a few units to build this statue it can provide a better military advantage in the long run.
