Playing To Learn

We played some games that were created by professionals. One game i really liked was Darfur Is Dying. It was a game about a colony of people who have to fight to get the assential things in life. The object of the game was to find the water by running and looking around with your character. When the militia was near you had to hide or they would capture you and throw you in a containment camp. There really was no educational point to the game, but the entertainment of the game made up for it. on a scale of 1 to 10 i would give it a 7 because it was the type of ggame people my age are interested in. We also played games created by other globalorians. My favorite game was Zeit Geist. it was a type of military game in which you had to answer questions about either Ancient greece or Eqypt. Then, you had to make it through each level with your character. After each level, you had to answer more questions, and if you got them wrong you had to go back and start from the beginning. the graphics weren't as good as the professionally made one, but the entertainment was just as good.
