Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Sid Meier's Civilization V: Explorer's Map Pack, one of several DLC options available to fans of the strategy title. The map pack adds ten new single player maps to the game, including five based on real world locations, and five with a unique gameplay theme.

Here's an excerpt:

In addition to the various new country maps, there is also the Bering Strait to play on as well. If you are fascinated by the Cold War then you can recreate the tension with two rival civilizations in the arms race. Playing on these crucial real world battlegrounds adds a lot to the gaming experience. I also felt like I was learning a bit from this map in particular. The terrain provided, and the geographical layout of these areas, reinforced in my mind why the battle was so important. A surprising bit of education in Civilization for a change.
