There has finally been a release date put on Empire Earth 3. A while ago they said they were accepting pre-orders (which you could have seen from the ad banners on HG) but I hadn't been able to find a release date. I have now, though. November 6th for USA, and November 9th for Europe and Australia are the dates to set into your calender.
