       Um, be a bit more specific.

       Punctuation. The correct place to insert spaces with examples.   

       Capitalisation. When the following word should be capitalised as it is a new sentence, with a simple game.   

       Singular/plural agreement. Examples such as 'a bacterium' as opposed to 'a bacteria'.

       Torque generated by belly-dancers is an entirely underdeveloped energy source...

       Once introduced, this will soon turn into product placement. Tinea pedis? <explanation> Try <insert brand name> medicated powder. Might be a good idea to offset the extra cost.   

       Gaming business models reduces to labour, both creative and computational, divided by unit sales. Given that the above material is recreational and not educational and the increased cost of production, this is a no brainer. Having said that, several games have included educational information into the game play, purely because it is more cost effective to add it there, as opposed to some intro that will probably be skipped anyway.

       Perhaps governments could pay to have the curriculum installed into games? Select your current level of education, your character and your avatar... then let battle begin. Skipping class to play computer games could become something every parent dreams of their child doing.

       Why?

       Because - This allows a person to be touched by a sphere of knowledge outside their sphere of computation expanding their world and society as a whole .

       Call me an old git if you like, but I would like to take "edutainment" out and shoot it. Play for the sake of playing; learn for the sake of learning. Both are valuable in their own right.

MaxwellBuchanan, Oct 28 2007
  

       Actually, on second thoughts, don't call me an old git.
