History Channel aims at schooling you on ancient civilizations
When it's late at night and we're ready to relax in our beds, we usually watch The History Channel or police chase videos. By the time we go to bed, that's usually the only thing that's on aside from infomercials. It's a tough break, but we're not complaining.
So, we were immediately interested in this new line of games from The History Channel and Slitherine Strategies. The first game, which is The History Channel Pocket History: Rome, tasks the player with taking over the Roman Empire. Not only must they build and extend the Empire's cities, they must also manage the economy and govern the population.
This first title is scheduled to release in April 2008, with subsequent sequels to follow in that year.

I will also purchase it after mario is forced to kill masterchief after learning that he's luigi in disguise.

The History Channel? Well, colour me surprised that their first foray into gaming isn't set in Nazi Germany. :P Still, I'm rooting for them to pull it off.

Yes,the lean green fighting machine realized that there would never be a luigi's mansion sequel and the bills were stacking up he had to do something fast. Vengeance is something that humans love, an unquenchable thirst of bloodlust.luigi had to have a legacy to pass on, the jealousy burned deep in his heart thats when he made the call to bill gates to sign the deal.
