I currently play many games. The game i choose to blog about is, Virtual Villagers. This game allows you to manage your own tribe, and control thier every move. Even better, is that the tribe continues to grow even when your computer is off or your simply not playing. The goal is to keep your tribe alive and get tech points to unlock secrets to finding the missing gong pieces. Recently, my tribe died, but i have started a new one and have found 1 missing piece so far and have a population of 10 people! I learned that taking responsibility is hard work. Also, learnt that research and science can lead to discoveries, or in this case more tech points. This game may be used to help students take control over something to prepare them for the future. Also it allows them to see the scientific edge to many games similar to this.
Another great game I play is, Obama Saw. This is a room escape game. This game is based off of the movie "Saw". The object is to save his family with the tools you discover and defeat jigsaw. I've beat this game 3 times and I'm so addicted. This game allows you to find your own clues. Even though thier are hints, you need to use your brain to defeat the mastermind jigsaw. This game can be used to teach kids how to handle being trapped somewhere and trying to use your observations to help you escape. The links to both games are listed below:
