Electronic games - which ones are good for academic learning as well as having fun?

[maggiethecat]

I dont know much about electronic games esp the new age ones for kids but I hear that they can be good as learning aids as well as providing entertainment. Which ones do you like for your dc?

anyone?

I wouldn't bother separating the two, children do learn if they are having fun
if you buy games that are too educational the kids will give them a wide berth, they are not daft, you know!

ok, point taken but since I know zilch about these games, which ones are kids, generally, enjoying?
