Gamespot reports that a demo for console-centric Civilization Revolution will be available tomorrow on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The demo will fill about 1.08 gigglebytes of hard drive space and include both single and multiplayer demos. Players will have the option of playing as Cleopatra or Caesar up until 1250 AD in the turn-based strategy game.

The demo will become available tomorrow beginning at 5AM EST on Xbox Live and as part of the PSN update sometime during the afternoon. We're definitely looking forward to testing out the demo and seeing if our civilization will stand the test of time survive until 1250 AD. Civilization Revolution is currently scheduled to release on July 8 for Xbox 360, PS3 and DS.

I'll try it out.
 
I read a preview for this one on the 360. I was incredibly disappointed with what I saw, as it's pretty much just a dumbed down Civilization IV. My biggest problem is probably the fact that the maps are scaled down and they won't let you play against more than four civs. It just defies logic to not let you use more.

I've never played a Civilization game before, so would it be worth it for me to check it out?

I haven't played it yet, but I can't imagine it being better than the PC versions, with some of the things they have taken away from the game. You can get Civ IV and both expansions for $60 off of Steam (same price as Revolution), so I would probably go for that. The one reason you might want Revolution is to play online, with your friends. Civ IV has online too, but I would imagine that more of your friends have PS3's than good PC's.
