TechRaptor writes, "When people start talking about educational video games, chances are they’re talking about kids games. I bet the first thing that came into your head when reading that was something like Reader Rabbit, Jumpstart or The Oregon Trail, right? The thing is, a game doesn’t have to be labeled educational to teach something worthwhile, nor does it have to make it boring or repetitive to do so. So here are six picks for educational games aimed at adults."
Break out your scuba gear! This week, Lisa looks at the top 5 games that take you under the sea.
Scared of the Dark? Terrified of tarantulas? Despise thin men in suits? It’s safe to say that horror gaming isn’t for everyone. In fact, aside from the occasional dare, few people really dabble with scary games. As if horror movies weren’t bad enough, titles like Slender, SCP Containment Breach and Silent Hill force players to experience shocks and scares only possible from an interactive medium. For those who prefer hugs and kisses over stalkings and screamings, Halloween is typically a pretty unpleasant affair. So what better time to take a look at some of the most calming, peaceful and cheerful games available right now. Snuggle up in bed, grab your collection of teddy bears and put on some whale sounds, let’s chill out and dig in.
Flower was actually very dark in parts, I wish they made it a little bit "happier" but I understan the ecological theme...anyway, my daughters stopped playing it when it turned dark, they lost interest even when I told them it would get cheerful again after certain parts. Kids are a tough audience :)
Um... What?!?
Loco Roco is the most cheerful game and it's not on the list!
Journey is not cheerful. Endless Ocean can be cheerful at times, but the pacing is just too slow. :/ Flower is cheerful during the first few levels, but then takes a dark turn.
You're missing:
- Secret of the Magic Crystals (It's a freaking unicorn game)
- LittleBigPlanet

Because I can't get enough of that dolphin gettin' jiggy with it...
Your mission: journey to the ocean's floor.... And. Pet. EVERYTHING.
'Nuff said.
to me this feels like a NON GAME.. looks amazing but i wonder if there are actual objectives or is it just a free-roaming pet things game?
looks beautiful though but makes me wonder.. WHERE IS DISASTER DAY OF CRISIS?
I'm sure this game will be big in Japan, but for the western countries I'm not that sure. I find it very relaxing, and if i had a Wii, i would get this one for sure.
Ya know, everytime I feel like life is bringing me down..I just listen to that women sing. Maybe it's me but this is the perfect relaxer for people who have stressful lives. And yeah, day one purchase for me
