Educating kids with video games - a laudable, but doomed, idea

Published on August 01, 2006

According to a recent Ipsos MORI poll in the UK, three in five 11 - 16 year olds are in favour of using video games in the classroom. I'll let Eurogamer break down the numbers for you, but suffice to say this is a bit of legitimacy/ego self pleasure for the video game industry. Read more

Take a look at the following as well:

Left 4 Dead
Prince Of Persia
Dead Space

All the choices you listed are solid, but these are turning out to look pretty good.

You could probably drop fallout3 for left 4 dead and be better off. That would leave you with nothing but shooters too. Which may or may not be a good thing.

Hard to say how the new Fallout will be. I'm hopeful, and I've got one pre-ordered. However, my realistic side tells me I've wasted my money on Oblivion the post apocalyptic story.

I reckon the new X game (X3:Terran Conflict) will be great, but I'm a self-confessed fanboy of the X series.

GTA IV will be coming to PC too (hopefully this year) - I've always enjoyed that series as well, so probably worth a look.

Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead.

Those are the only games I plan now for this year. (unless any of those have Securom, then it's bye to those too). I thank EA for help in cutting my PC game purchases in half for the winter.

PS, I would've bought Mirror's Edge, Red Alert 3 and Spore (which is already out). I bought rented Warhead.

Fallout 3
Far Cry 2

I really, really doubt I will buy all three 'cause I just don't have that much time to play games.

Thanks to Securom my list too has been dramatically pruned.

Fallout 3 is on preorder, I'm currently playing Warhammer Online.

On consoles I am still looking at Mirror's Edge, Prototype, Ghostbusters, Brutal Legend, maybe Starcraft 2 if it makes it this year, probably a few others I've forgotten.

There have already been a good number of really good titles this year though.

far cry2
fallout3

 

These two seem to be suitable name's for PC Guys , but i doubt the guy named Cod5 will satisfy.

Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, and a maybe on Far Cry 2 and COD5... Need to see if Treyarch is going to live up to the COD franchise this time around or not and Also need to take a BIG look to what Ubi does with Far Cry 2, I'd be wary with the kind of stuff they might want to try to pass up as a "far cry title".

Basically you have to remember that Treyarch is developing COD5 and not infinity ward, and they royally screwed up last time around with COD3. Also Far Cry 2 is being developed by Ubisoft and not Crytek, and Ubisoft is known for putting out turds and selling them as games. Right now with me the only thing those two titles have going for themselves are the franchise names, and that isn't enough for me.

well i can only afford to buy three games and far cry 2 is a must while fallout 3 and cod 5 will depend on the review but gta 4 for consoles was a 10/10 game so its a must buy.
