  About Morphonix - Educational Video Game Developer
The purpose of the Phase I evaluation was to determine the efficacy of a computer game as a way to educate children about the brain.
As expected children from grades 2 through 5 who interacted with the computer game derived significant gains in motivation in their activity, motivation in learning about the brain, and memory of important learning about the brain.
The game's ability to teach information about a subject not generally covered in elementary curricula demonstrates that video games have the potential to be a fun and educational resource for children.

  Game Studies 0501: The Semiotics of Time Structure in Ludic Space by Craig A. Lindley
But for computer games there is a narrower and much more specific generative basis, derived from general cultural understandings but embodied in the software code of the game framework, thereby supporting a very particular space of possible game worlds that may be created at the simulation level in response to player interaction.
Hence for games in which computers play a significant role in creating the game world, the generative or structural substrate can be divided into two levels, one inspiring the code and being very similar to the structural foundations of narrative systems, and the other being the actual structure of the code as an artifact.
The game level is designed for the pursuit of a goal, that of the player reaching the end of the level, which progresses the player through the second act of the larger scale three-act structure of the game narrative.

 Journey to the Center of the Earth
In Journey to the Center of the Earth, adventure game fans will be thrilled by all the many times you have to really use your brain to figure out what to do next, or how to solve a problem, in order to further progress the game.
Journey to the Center of the Earth will certainly appeal to all hard-core adventure gamers who really enjoy spending countless hours scratching their heads over all the many choke points in the game.
Computer games are notorious for taking over machines, and this is why users will need to be sure and close out all their other open files, before playing this and any computer game.

 Journey to the Center of the Earth review
Journey to the Center of the Earth (JCE) follows the exploits of Ariane, an attractive, ambitious photojournalist.
The game has an engaging high tech/scientific gloss for what is essentially the telling of a far-fetched tale.
The game pauses at the tipping point of a moral dilemma, which our heroine resolves by walking either through a wide door or a narrow one.

 GameSpy: Journey to the Center of the Earth Review
Journey To The Center Of The Earth has been translated from its original French and also to several movies, not all of which deal with the original characters, Professor Liedenbrock, Axel, and Hans.
Journey To The Center Of The Earth is a traditional point-and-click adventure game.
Since other characters in the game are simply there for show, you could easily overlook the kid and never consider him to be a part of the game.

 Game Over Online Magazine - Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
Most of the game involves finding hotspots and then clicking on them, so, for example, when you need to use a waterwheel to reach a high platform, you just click on the hotspot on the waterwheel, and all of the action takes place in a cutscene.
Funcom took the time to develop the conspiracy and add depth to the characters, which is good, but you spend far too much time listening to people talk to each other, and they talk and talk and rarely say anything important.
Many parts of the game are well made -- the graphics are nice, and the voice acting is generally excellent (Zoe’s voice in particular is done well, which is good given how much dialogue she has) -- but overall Dreamfall isn’t a lot of fun to play.

 Newfoundland Journey to the Cape Print
Journey to the Cape was commissioned by Ryall Atlantic Ltd. originally as a board game design but after hearing great reviews it was decided to release it in a limited (499) 18"x24" and unlimited 12"x15" edition print.
The print, Journey to the Cape started out as a idea for an educational and tourist trivia board game, which has developed into a print, a board game, a computer game and a puzzle and postcard.
To do that the board design itself had to be fun and representative of the culture, heritage and history of Newfoundland and Labrador and it also had to be designed so that it could accommodate at least 150 spaces.

 Adventure Gamers : Great Journey: Mr. Penguin's Letter
My nephew will take the most lovingly crafted game and toss it to one side because he doesn't like the way a character talks, or because a puzzle is a little too difficult, or the story is not one that he likes.
Everywhere you travel through the game, from lush tropical islands to the colds of Antarctica to the town of Old Port, you'll be treated to colorful cartoony graphics that are not only beautiful, but also full of hidden interactive animations and clues.
For the most part the game is fairly simple, and except for some of the challenges mentioned above, is perfect for both younger and older kids (the game comes recommended for ages six to twelve).

 Review: The Longest Journey
The Myst games give a first-person perspective ("through the eyes of the monster", as one subtitle has it); you are a void, a Cartesian observer.
The L/S games are third-person; they put your character on the screen, a puppet which you lead around and make to dance.

 Mysterious Journey II for PC Review - GameDaily
Interest in adventure games began to fade fast in the mid 90's, and was nearly obliterated altogether with the rise of first-person shooters.
Mysterious Journey II falls short of being a great adventure game because of its lack of detail and its extremely difficult puzzles.
Mysterious Journey II is just such as game: relying on the puzzle-solving skills of the players to make it an enjoyable experience.

Mysterious Journey II is a game purely for an intellectual challenge.
Puzzles in Mysterious Journey II are hard right at the beginning of the game which may turn off some gamers.
Mysterious Journey II was a very enjoyable game for me. Most people may find the game too hard, but an adventure game should be challenging.

 Journey: The Quest Begins
Infocom's last and one of their most epic games, I firmly believe that Journey: The Quest Begins was also one of their best, as it contains one of the most involving stories and some of the best characters ever seen in an Infocom game (or any computer game, for that matter).
Though billed as a "role-play chronicle," Journey was much more like an adventure game where you controlled five characters at a time instead of one.
There are good graphics in this game used to provide views of what is needed to be seen, but the true story, which is fantastic and well-developing, lies in the text (which, when printed out single-spaced, takes nearly sixty pages).

While the game seems to be aimed at adults, I think it would be very beneficial for kids as well — one of the few computer games that actually help to develop calmness and concentration rather than ADD.

 Schizm: Mysterious Journey (pc: 2001): Reviews
While the game is challenging, there are drawbacks, and most of those lie with the character acting.
The vocal interpretations are somewhat bland, and those character actors providing their talents to this game visually need to feel the role rather than merely walking through the genre.
This is a beautiful game but the so poor with movement and has a tendency to be to diffcult for the average player.
