I&#8217;ll sum it up for you:  I liked it, the departures from the history are well-handled and more than understandable, and if Caesar had the people&#8217;s best interests in mind then I&#8217;m Jay-Z. <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for you, I saw <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ferrago.com\/story\/6166\">this <\/a>before I started typing and the following rant ensues:  $400 for a Playstation 3?
