Classic Game Room HD – BASIC MATH for Atari 2600 review

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 00:50:00 +0000

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division all in one video game!? AWESOME!!! Classic Game Room breaks out the calculator for Basic Math for the Atari 2600. All the fun of math with none of the hassles of school. Basic Math is like the great grandfather to the Leapfrog educational video game system. Children can learn from this game, it is a children’s game (sort of)! In this game… if you can call it a game… you add and subtract under the intense pressure of a timer. You could cheat and use an abacus to solve these complex equations though, the Atari would be none the wiser.

Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The HD series is reviewing PS3, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. Xbox Live Arcade XBLA. Problem solving. School, teacher’s aid, teach, tutor.

IBM Launches PowerUp 3D Game

admin — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 01:53:57 +0000

MADE IN IBM LABS: IBM is making online gaming a matter of life or death for the planet …at least virtually. The company is launching a 3D multi-player online game (www.powerupthegame.org) that will challenge teenagers to help save the planet Helios from disaster. Teens will have to beware of sandstorms, floods and “SmogGobs” while solving missions for solar, wind and water power before the planet’s resources are used up. While they are doing so, kids will be employing engineering principles to rebuild wind turbines and solar panels, and make decisions about energy consumption that will effect the planet’s resources. The educational game is being launched as part of Engineer’s Week 2008.

The goal is to take advantage of the interest in online virtual worlds to teach basic engineering principles and energy conservation and get more teens interested in math and science. It’s more than just fun and games. Dramatic changes are needed to restructure our schools and prepare students for the innovation economy that they will some day lead, and these include the use of new technology such as 3D platforms. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job growth in science, technology, engineering and math will grow 22 percent through 2014, faster than the average (13%) for all other jobs. Computer specialist occupations are expected to grow much faster at more than 30 percent. But at the same time, the U.S. grade school students continue to lag behind other parts of the world in math and science.

So while players create their own avatars and meet in the Orientation Center to chat with others, they can also interact with non-playing characters who are experienced engineers from diverse backgrounds that will act as guides. The avatars will be faced with timed challenges and activities that include driving an electric-powered buggy across desert terrain to find heliostats and racinge through a “junkyard” to find parts to rebuild wind turbines.

More than 200 kids provided input into the game to ensure that it is fun and I can provide you with a video clip to demonstrate the graphics and different missions.
