Think Canadian history is boring? I guess you haven't played HistoriCanada: The New World yet! That's understandable, though, as I haven't either. Yet, thousands upon thousands of Canadian schoolchildren will have the opportunity to do just that, as 2K Games is donating some 100,000 copies of the Civilization III mod to Canadian students for educational purposes. It doesn't hurt that the game comes with Civilization III: Conquests, either.

If you've got a hankering for some Canadian history and have a copy of Civ III, you can download the mod for free at the official HistoriCanada site. You can even score yourself some free MP3s of the game's soundtrack. Sorry, no Rush OR Bryan Adams. Michael McWhertor
