I just thought I'd tease you all a little... Rome's release here in Australia will co-incide in date with the American release, i.e. TOMORROW.

Of course, Australia is eight to ten hours ahead of GMT (depending on which coast one lives) while the US is several hours behind GMT. So I guess the Aussies among us will be the first to savour the experience of Rome: Total War.

I'll be claiming mine at precisely nine o'clock in the morning... Enjoy the ride.
