I checked out the article Kristy referenced in her last blog on Games and Violence. In the article the author states that 49% of kids prefer electronic games including violence and 2% prefer educational games. The author doesn't elaborate on the specific games he is calling violent and the ones he is calling educational, but I have to wonder if this is really about all of those things we are learning that make games fun (interactivity, challenge, etc.) Nowhere in the literature does it say that games have to be violent to be fun, but unfortunately game manufacturers that put violent content in their games are better at making their games fun than educational game makers. I think some people have the misconception that a game can't be fun and educational. It is our job to prove them wrong!
