I played a few games during the past couple days. I reviewed two of them on my wiki page.
The first game, Medical Mysteries, I actually enjoyed. It had several mini games in the main game. It was made to teach about how to fight and prevent diseases. It even had a "Frogger" spoof! It's worth playing.

I also played a really boring easy game called "Super Toaster". The gameplay was terrible and I think a two year old could beat it. Plus, you play as a tree. Just a random tree. You never play as the toaster, which was odd. The game tries to teach about the "dangers" of global warming, but it fails. I didn't learn anything useful from this game. I'd rant more about how bad this game is, but it's not really worth my time.

Hi Alex! Welcome to Globaloria!! I'm glad you had a chance to play some games while going through the Playing to Learn section. I think the first game (Medical Mysteries) is a professionally-made game while "Super Toaster" was a game made by Globaloria students.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a good job describing what you liked and/or didn't like about these games. Another student (Randy at Braxton County HS) also has a blog post in which he wrote about the games he played. You can check it out by going to this link: http://inthemindofthemuffin.blogspot.com/
I look forward to reading more blog posts from you as well as seeing all the files you upload on to your wiki and seeing your progress towards making a fun and functional game as the semester continues!
Sincerely,
David Lowenstein
