| Midas wises up to Clever Kids Midas Interactive makes a smart move into the educational games sector with the release of Clever Kids: Dino Land and Clever Kids: Pony World on the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2 and PC. Clever Kids is a brand new multi-format product range, featuring hugely enjoyable and yet educationally beneficial gaming products. Targeted at the 6-10 year age group Clever Kids has the explicit aim of encouraging youngsters to learn through interaction and exploration of some of their favourite subjects. Stimulating and interesting information is delivered through a variety of mediums including touch, sight and sound. At every turn Clever Kids informs, entertains, educates and rewards the player. By reacting to their responses their level is quickly assessed and more challenging games offered as they develop. Sprocket, a loveable and amusing robot, is the guide through all Clever Kids games offering both support and advice to help the player enjoy their adventure. Each game features its own set of unique mini games including math tests, spot the difference, memory games, quizzes and puzzles. The uniqueness of the Clever Kids range is that for the first time on PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS formats the underpinning requirements of the curriculum are met by console games. In stark contrast to the media reports of over use of consoles by children and legitimate questions being asked about the suitability of the content of some video games, Clever Kids represents an antidote in the form of stimulating but educationally biased fun. Developed by Gamerholix, Pony World and Dino Land are scheduled for a release on the 2nd November in all PAL territories. Nintendo Wii versions are planned for launch Spring 2008. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
