Rome: Total War demo is about to consume your weeknights

Rome: Total War is about to get its own demo for your enjoyment, and mine. There are a lot of reasons to look forward to this game, being the latest in a series of strategy titles by Creative Assembly. The upcoming demo will let you take the role of the Carthaginian general, Hannibal. It was Hannibal who crossed the Alps in an attempt to outflank the Roman forces. Since you're outnumbered and underarmed, you'll need to use your noggin to get out of the mess you find yourself in. The clips of the game have been impressive, with thousands of units running across the battlefield, swords drawn. Our best guess is that the demo will definitely be worth a download.
