Why wait until E3 to break news when you can do it days before in a short press release? That's exactly what 2K Games did this morning when they announced that Sid Meier's Civilization V would be conquering PCs on September 21, 2010. Of course, that's only the North American date, but since I live in North America, that's all I need to know. Oh, all right, it's also coming internationally on September 24. By the end of September, there's no reason not to be taking over the world, one grid at a time. Well, assuming you have a PC that can run the game, of course.

That's really all the new information the press release provided, but what else do you need to know? What, you want impressions of the game or something? Fine, we'll give them to you after we meet with 2K Games at E3 next week. Be prepared.
