Oh, it's torment watching my European (and Firaxian) friends pop up on Xbox Live with CivRev Achievements.  Maybe not quite as bad as when I was spotting people playing GTA IV ahead of the release, but still pretty bad.  There's still almost a whole month to wait, too!  Curse those US publishers holding on to the 360 version until the DS one is done! 

I've managed to avoid the demo so far.  I don't like playing demos of games I know I'm going to get.  But the wait is making it hard to resist...
