For some reason, this year developers have decided it's the year of Roman themed city building games. Not that I mind. There haven't been any good city builders released lately. This year we have "Caesar IV," "CivCity: Rome," and "Glory of the Roman Empire" coming out.

I had the opportunity to play a preview version of "Glory of the Roman Empire." The game was easy to jump into (the tutorials helped) and become immersed in the game. You'll have to read my preview for more details.
