Chat with gaming legend Sid Meier

The industry legend will be available for a live online chat on September 26th.

To mark the release of the 'Even the Odds' download pack for Sid Meier's Pirates on the Xbox, Sid Meier himself will be taking questions in an online chat room. The man responsible for such classics as Civilisation, Railroad Tycoon and SimGolf will be online at 5:00 P.M Eastern, 2:00 P.M Pacific. You'll need a .NET Passport to take part in the chat that will take place here.

The 'Even the Odds' download pack gives Pirates players two new action sequences for when you battle shipmates onboard ships you are attempting to loot or take control of. It'll also include a number of new attack patterns for those that have become accustomed to those currently found in the game. The pack will be released on Monday 26th and will be downloadable over Xbox Live.
