Have you played Romance of Rome yet? I played it yesterday for waaaaay too long...to the point where I was no longer doing my job, but totally slacking - it's a really fun game! Here's your spot to talk about it.
I played through the first demo hour on a different site. I really liked it. The HO/problem solving theme is fun and I like the shopping angle. The main character is going to be quite the walking jewelry store once we're done. I wonder if he gets weapons and such not eventually. I may have to buy it in order to find out. I almost finished chapter 2. Anyone know how many chapters there are? I'd hate to buy the game and finish 45 minutes later. Done that before and felt like a dope.
