Board games for family fun. LearnDirect promotes family computing through a game. The Legula Adventure: LearnDirect's attempt to get adults using computers with their children.
I didn't get chance to post about this last week, but wanted to get a mention in somewhere. Learndirect, the government-backed adult education service, has just released its own free online game. The Legula Adventure is designed to be played by a child and one parent, and involves solving simple word and number puzzles as you travel through a 3D virtual environment, looking for three powerful crystals. It's sort of a gently educational version of Myst, with movement controlled by selecting directions via a on-screen menu.
The visuals are nicely designed, reminding me a little of Katamari's flat-shaded cartoon-ish beauty. Home Remedies: Kids' Health + Development: Cookiemag.com.
