I’m a fan of the Metroid Prime video game series and appreciate the style Retro Studios added to the long-standing franchise. We’ll see during E3 tomorrow if Nintendo announces the Donkey Kong re-boot. I’ll be watching the streaming event at e3.nintendo.com at 9am tomorrow. (I’m also hoping for more info on the MotionPlus Zelda title that has been rumored.)
The library has 30 computers that are always full during lunch. I’d be interested to see students’ reactions to DimensionM, a first-person shooter (Halo and Call of Duty are examples of the genre) that pauses the action to ask Math questions. The game uses lasers and slime-ish stuff, so it doesn’t seem that violent. It’s designed with the purpose of being an educational game. I’d like to test how much Math they remember and if they’d be annoyed by the questions popping out of nowhere.
