Fans of seesaw-based international conflict (and PC-based real-time strategy games) will be pleased to learn that there's a demo of Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War out at the moment - and on Eurofiles.

The 392MB demo features a battle in which the Egyptians take on the Romans in the game's skirmish mode.

Obviously that's barely the extent of what the full game offers - those of you picking it up later this year will also get Greek and Persian empires to command, as well as a mighty campaign mode and eight-player multiplayer.

There'll even be a team mode where one player manages resources while the other goes to war - a bit like when I'm trying to pay for some clothes and my friend Rachel looks like she's ready to punch people if they don't hurry up.
