    Game: Death in Rome
    URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/interactive/games/death_rome/index_embed.shtml
    Age Level: Middle to high school on up.
    What it does: Investigate a death (murder?) in ancient Rome. User can click on objects in the dead man's apartment and consult with a modern-day archaeologist and experts on Roman food, coins, religion, and medicine; user can also "talk" with other inhabitants of the city who may or may not be suspects.
    Observations: As you might expect in a BBC product it is artistically designed and factually rigorous. The interface is smooth, efficient, and intuitive.
    Up/Down: Up.
