Education Arcade Brings Learning Experience, Will Wright To E3

Thanks to Water Cooler Games for its in-depth report on Day 1 and on Day 2 of the Education Arcade, an E3-related conference which discusses "the development, the use, and the marketing potential of games in education." Among the highlights: the contention by the Leapfrog CEO that "Video games are a trojan horse -- a way to get better educational content into the home", and Maxis' Will Wright discussing how his titles educate, pointing out: "As game designers, we're trying to build a model in people's head. And that probably has a lot to do with education."

Most important thing I've learned from playing video games: When the ghosts come after you, eat the pills so that you can eat the ghosts instead of them eating you.
