Third Video Game

Catch the sperm was the third video game I picked because I looked like it was educational and those are the games I like. It reminded me of the remission game only with sperm and STD's instead of cancer. I think these are the two video games I am going to pick for my paper.

video game listing

I believe most video games are a poor way to spend your time unless it is an educational game because you are having fun while learning which is a rare activity sometimes. One game that was educational on the list was the Re-mission game because it takes you on a journey through a patients body with different types of cancer and shows you the affects on the body. Another educational game I found was on http://www.adultswim.com/games/. The game was called amateur surgeon act 3 and it just makes learning more fun.
