I've been playing Grand Ages Rome recently, and it can be pretty good as well.

UFO: Enemy Unknown, known as X-Com: Ufo Defense in the states and on Steam.
It's the best pc game ever created.

X-Com is ridiculously awesome, but I'm not sure if it's what he's looking for when he says turn-based games and mentions GalCiv2 and Civ4.

I remember trying X-com ages ago (when it was new) and i thought it was ok, but i never really played it that much, maybe i would appreciate it more nowadays, i'll give it a try.
Gonna see if i like City Life, people seems to either hate it or love it.

X-com was the thing, way back then. Never understood why, with all the raw power these days the goddam devs dont seem to be able to get the atmosphere, or the settings for a great new X-com campaign, i do miss sending interceptors afters the pesky ufos, and then hitting the crash site with a pro x-team 
Edit: and before that there were the amazing laser squad and rebel star games

Never had a single CTD in GAR personally. Try to install the patch that recently came out, might help a bit.

IMO, There isn't better city builder than Sim City 3000 or 4 + Rush Hour(Tho, you need Rush Hour or Deluxe edition coz game bit bugged and will lag lot without them). I haven't played City Life, but looks like you can put there buildings, i mean residential, commercial and so on. But why i like Sim City (Not Social, sux ass. Only 4 or 3000) because you cant build skyscrapers when you want, you need to work hard, educate and please your people to get nice big city there. Other wise you building just fall of or people left them and they are dirty and broken. In Sim City you can only drag area, where they can build certain buildings. When you start game, they wont build skyscrapers, but you need to work on it and you will achieve your goal

This is true in City Life as well. You start with the low classes of citizens which only have simple housing and simple stores, and when you advance, only then you can build better buildings (like sky scrapers, malls, landmarks, etc). Now I want to play City Life as well.

Does City Life work in vista 64? The reason I ask is that on the game's website, they have "vista patches" (since the game is a few years old). I noticed that the "regular" edition has a vista32/64 patch, but the "world" edition only has a 32 patch. Just wondering what is needed to get it running on a 64 install. (I'm dling it now also) Thanks.

SC4 probably won't work on your graphics card. It doesn't work well on new cards at all (both nV and AMD).
About the 2008 edition, it's an update with new buildings etc. The 2008 edition is available for download from their site anyway.
