I think games have great potential to teach. Unlike movies, books and other mediums that are used in education games give you the ability to interact with the material at hand. It encourages exploration and experimentation because unlike real life when you fuck up you can just reset, or restart or like me try to fuck…

@Algerian: What you said goes perfectly with my point. As you have no interest in science, an educational game that forced science facts down your throat would probably not get much action from you, but a narrative-driven game set in the time of some important scientific discovery would probably get at least the…

I adore the idea of games being used in education. However, and this is a big however, the entire -I'm having fun playing a game- aspect disappears if education becomes your main objective. I think that people learn a lot more by just playing in a world than they do by having a game shove facts at them.

It would have to be the year 30XX and it would be held in the uber-metropolis of Neo-Crystal Salt Lake City. And it wouldn't be games in the Olympics as much as it would be Tron-like parodies of athletic events in a virtual stadium. And for some reason every contestant in every event gets like 5 bombs to use as they…

FLORENSIA and maybe some rogue galaxy.

Rogue Galaxy featuring Brian Crecente, I mean featuring Zegram Ghart.

good idea, just wish it was almost any other show...

Would buy this in an instant if it had a good RPG (SHINING FORCE II) but its still mighty tempting as is!

I want this as bad as I wanted the original mario party. That is saying something.

WTF stereotypes are these knee-jerk bitches talking about?? That stuffing a princess with cake will make her fat? um... that's true.. I think... I fail to see how this game even implies that being a fat princess is bad in any way. Sure needs help to get around, but she's a princess, it just adds to the realism. I mean…

I screamed and giggled like a little girl as I watched this! I was so worried they would try to change it too much. But it looks perfect! Still in keeping with the original style but cleaner with more pop! It was never as much fun on DS as with the original, but my hopes are high for this round.

Dear God! NO NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO! I often wonder how game developers get to the point where they forget what made us like their games and their characters. SEGA clearly has reached this point. This is like the same thing that happens to couples who have been together for a long time and simply cannot stand each…

Thats Crazy!! I've been slathering myself in nothing but Bowie for like two weeks. The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars as well as Aladdin Sane have been getting the most action.

Final Fantasy VI is one of the biggest influences on the gaming and creative aspects of my life in general. I fantasize about the day I can work with Amano as the character designer (never ever ever ever ever going to happen). So I gotta find someone to get there, meet him and thank him for poisoning me with undying…

RPGs and board games go together like PB and J. thats all I have to say.

one really boring summer

I feel that this title should perhaps have just been called something else other than Prince Of Persia. If your gonna have all new characters, new visual stylings, a new world, and borrow game mechanics, just make a new game. I feel like this would give the developers more freedom to make a good game, instead of…

The most depressing thing about getting older isn't really the reminders of inevitable physical decay — the gray hairs that pop up in unexpected places, the faint lines beginning to etch themselves permanently in the corner of each eye, the mornings when you wake up with a hangover, even though you haven't been…

Suikoden IV

Also fantasizing and acting on a fantasy are VERY VERY different things. People fantasize about a lot of things that they would never actually do or want done in real life.
