Interesting. I have been looking for some educational games for the GCN, but had not found any. I remember the PC style games from long ago were always... cheesy. Sometimes a simple, non-branded, straight forward learning game is better than "entertainment with a drop of education". Anyhow, I hope the edutainment industry continues to grow. I think learning games (even foriegn languages!) on consoles would be cool... but that is just me...

This is actually what I am focusing on now...just as an XNA on my 360 only type of thing. I'm going to pass it around to some of the other Creator Club members (assuming someone wants to see it at all). My son loves the 360, if I could turn it into even more of an educational device that would be great (and suck). Great in terms of helping him learn more effectively, and sucks because I REALLY won't be able to play the 360 anymore (No more dual 360s ).
