First a new game will enable you to command Egypt. "Stainless Steel Studios' Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War is a project that has captured the attention and interest of quite a few RPG aficionados. It's a real-time strategy title, one in which you'll be able to command four great empires of the ancient world including Greece, Rome, Egypt and Persia . . . . There will be eight champions in all. At this time, we know three-quarters of the list - Julius Caesar, Germanicus Caesar, Cleopatra, Ramses the Great, Achilles and Alexander the Great. "

"Set in New York City in 2095, Immortal tells the tale of Earth being visited by ancient Egyptian gods who are, in reality, immortal aliens responsible for the construction of all planets in the universe. Having cast judgment on Horus, the god responsible for the creation of Earth, the gods have given him seven days to reclaim his immortality by mating with a rare species that occasionally pops up around the universe. This rare female species is a universal anomaly, one whose presence cannot be predicted, and who sports the rare ability of being the only females in the universe who can mate with immortals". Sounds like an absolute hoot! See the review for more details.
