These V smile games and all educational "videogames" like them are ruining all games reputations. These games are will not make the future generation get onto games it will most likely turn them away from games kids should get a real experience my first system was a sega Genesis given to me by my uncle. besides while most of the world won't believe me it is true that normal games are in fact educational, the amount of reading as a little kid Pokemon helped me read, age of Empires and some other RTSs are great teachers of English. I guarantee that games in general have taught me more about english, history, and science then the school I'm currently going to. With the exception of math I'd say that games can teach kids better then most schools on almost any subject including the non main courses, like music, art and others. These educational games on top of being unnecessary educational tools using games are also degrading games in general with their commercials saying games are bad and it makes videogames look like stupid children's toys without any intellectual stimulation at all!!!! These "videogames" would not be considered games at all yet the public likes the concept of tricking their children with these sorry excuses for games and educational tools.
