History Channel games?

[Ramses II CP]

I was at Fry's earlier and they had a History Channel game set in Rome. I can't find it at the HC website, but it looked fairly interesting. The thing is, I'm not going to buy a game of unknown quality from some unknown developer any more than I'm going to trust gaming mag reviews. Has anyone here played the Rome HC game, or the Civil War one?

This is the link to the Civil War one:

I played the CW one it was fun.

good game, quick but surprisingly innacurate for a game made by the History channel

Buy at your own risk. Definitely not worth the price.

Here's the website (http://www.greatbattlesofrome.com/) for the 'Great Battles of Rome' HC game. The site is just fluff and junk, but the game itself... Well, it still looks halfway interesting, so I'm hoping someone will bail me out and confess to having tried it and hated/loved it.

I didn't realize the Civil War one was primarily a shooter. Not terribly interesting to me.

Great battles of Rome look horrible and if it is anything like Legion Arena(the engine which the game is built on) then it's not worth the money.
The civil war game was ok tho.
Short but still ok.
