Games are very good at drawing negative publicity when it comes to how they affect the mulchy brain sponge of the younger generation. Fortunately, games publishing veteran Mastertronic and ‘accelerated learning software’ company 3MRT are teaming up to help the nation’s sprogs through their GCSEs.
Going the ever popular App Store route, the two companies are producing ‘exam-busting’ games for the iPhone and iPod Touch, fusing top of the range game design with GCSE syllabus questions. It’s not exactly Black Ops, but then again we don’t think the best way to brush up on history is to shoot through it.
Independent trials have shown that a student’s knowledge in their chosen subject improves after playing the game, which obviously shows that they are doing something right.
The InQuizitor range of Apps are now available, priced at £1.79 each, and are filled to the brim with questions based on the latest national curriculum.
Thanks Anthony!
Hi Anthony
Just wanted to update you and thank you for the article.
InQuizitor is now feeling the Valentines day love from Apple, by being featured on the front page of the App store.
Thanks for your visionary support! You helped make some old games developers very happy
Cheers
