My son was really into it as he was growing up. Selene looks interesting as well. Thanks for the list! Like others I have to agree that Sim City is a great game.

THere's another list in the appendix of "Game Changer" (http://kidnomi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Game_Changer_FINAL.pdf) - but what I'm after is a crowdsourced database. It would list all educational games, past and present. Each one would have a series of fields - some subjective like "playability", some factual like "platform". Anyone know of such a thing?

It uses a single board of infinite size, with a never ending supply of letters. Interestingly, we're seeing quite a number of kids participating in building the giant crossword, and presumably expanding their vocabulary at the same time! The other group the game appeals to are the Seniors, many of whom report that, not only is it fun, they purposely use it as a memory aid to keep the brain active. cheers I’ve been involved in a community project re-imagining Scrabble for the MMO arena, as a game called Wordipelago: http://wordipelago.com/ .
