Rome may not have been built in a day, but what of Egypt? We contacted the last known Egyptian Pharaoh yesterday, only to be informed the mummified monarch "does not comment on rumour and speculation". (At least, we think we got the right number; we hit "M" for "Mummy" in our phone contacts, and we don't know too many other institutions whose names begin with "M"...)

No matter. You can do some digging and find out for yourself by playing - da-da-da-DA! - the Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile demo! Weighing in at around 200MB and comprising a pair of single-player scenarios, the COTN demo should give you more than enough insight into Tilted Mill's soon-to-be-SEGA-published strategy title.

We've mirrored the demo on Eurofiles here, and according to the release list hidden away in SEGA's secret online place for special friends, the full game is due out on this continent on February 4th. Just don't let those pesky Romans near it; everything takes them a bloody age.
