History Video Games

How cool does this sound? (for something school related, at least)

A new kind of interactive software is being used for the first time in high school and college classrooms across the country. "Making History," a PC-based learning simulation from Muzzy Lane Software, has debuted this spring at the University of Illinois in Urbana, Ill., Salem State College in Salem, Mass., and Oak Hill High School in Converse, Ind.

I would've loved to use Civilization or Age of Mythology to teach my World History class this past year...hopefully it's not too far away where we can readily have these tools at our hands.
