Join us this week as we let the intrinsic pleasure of reading take control! That’s right, we’re getting all educational over here with “Method of Action”, a collection of games intended to teach the player some principles of graphic design. We dig in to the sometimes tense relationship between gamification and education, where gamification is seen as an easy way to keep pupils engaged, but fails to use the full breadth of what gaming can do to enhance the learning experience. We also get into the weeds a little bit, waxing nostalgic over the edutainment games of our childhoods.
