Playing to learn

From the game reviews that I took I can say that all the games that were created were meant fully evolved to the idea that they should be the best that they can be and all that hard work did pay of because look at were these games are know, it is amazing and enjoyable to play theses games that were made with such an incredible potential.Well the features in the games were really impressive as well fun to play, all the features in the games were awesome even though they did need work such as graphic design and information on how to be playing the game but overall the features in the games were out of this world truly magical, and one of the features in the game is a feature in which you draw a line to get to the other side in the game Magic game.

*Is my game interesting to the 21st century children around the world?

*Is an Animal saving genre game a important social issue or not very taken care of?

Playing to learn, Genre:Action

Game that taught me a new educational skill or gave information on a subject:
The game Survivor helped me in the way of discovering new skills because throughout the game you had to figure out how to get to the door without touching the guards and it honestly took me some time to figure out how to get to the other door so that was cool.

Game that taught me about a new or existing social issue:
The game survivor created by EACPA students ofcourse. (Action)
Game I liked best:
The Survivor
What happens in the game:
You have to get to the Exit Door without getting catched from the guards but there is a little glitch in the game you have to figure out the way to get to there but you cant get to the door that easy you cant get to the door without thinking on how to got pass the guards you have to find the way tot get to the door without touching the guards, so what I am triying to say is that you have to use critical thinking to get passed the guards.
How to play it:
You have to have a lot of skills eventhough it is a game created by kids and do not have a lot of experience with this kind of program.I realy enjoyed playing this game it is challenging but also it requires for you to use critical thinking in my opinion.
