Featured Games

 New Super Mario Bros. Wii WP.JPG
New Super Mario Bros. Wii's people skills are one of the game’s biggest strengths. Players need to be very careful around one another in order to just survive, and taking advantage of the skills available to a group takes finesse and cooperation.

Modern Warfare II WP.JPG
Educationally, Modern Warfare 2’s biggest strengths are in people skills and creativity. The game places a huge emphasis on multiplayer play. Many of the multiplayer game types are team-based, including a number that feature various special objectives, and players are always encouraged to work together.

Scribblenauts WP.JPG
Scribblenauts' educational strengths are in creativity, problem solving and classroom facts. Players are given more creative freedom in Scribblenauts than in perhaps any other videogame ever made, able to solve any problem in hundreds of different ways, and their knowledge of how things work in the real world is enforced by the behavior of the items in-game.

Plants vs. Zombies WP.JPG
Plants vs. Zombies emphasizes collecting and managing sunlight which helps enforce business skills as one of the game’s primary educational strengths. Players start each stage of the game with just enough sunlight to produce a few plants, and must carefully balance sunlight collection and plant production.


Valkyria Chronicles WP.JPG

Valkyria Chronicle's biggest strengths are in creativity and problem solving. The combination of standard strategy-RPG design with real-time unit control is a unique one, and the level design is constantly changing things up with new enemies and challenges to overcome. Each of these battles offers something totally fresh, from the wide-open desert battle during which a sandstorm erupts to the nighttime sneaking mission through the streets of a small town.

Call of Duty WaW WP.JPG

Call of Duty: World at War's biggest strength is in creativity. Players can deal with most campaign missions in any number of ways, and in the deep multiplayer mode players can eventually choose their own combinations of weapons and abilities to form their own character classes.

FAR CRY 2 WP.JPG

Far Cry 2 puts a heavy emphasis on player creativity, a category in which Far Cry 2 thrives. Players are free to deal with any combat situation in a number of ways, responding both to their character’s current status, the terrain around them and their goals in any specific mission. More interestingly, the missions the player chooses and how they choose to complete each will have a long-lasting effect on the game’s overall plot, allowing players to influence the story directly.

Spore WP.JPG
Educationally, Spore is overwhelming in several areas, and most notable may well be creativity. Simply put, the degree of control the player has over the development of their creatures in Spore is totally unmatched.
