- Enochrewt, on 06/16/2008, -3/+29I thought it said "UFC" and was confused as to why cage fighters were touting learning math from video games.
- Thrash16, on 06/16/2008, -1/+18Well no ***** educational video games help raise scores...its like saying "Reading books help with reading comprehension"
- Yibn, on 06/16/2008, -2/+18Yay, my school has done something!
- Rocketman1882, on 06/16/2008, -3/+17Note "educational video games."
Did anyone else get into Harvest Moon enough to keep a pad and pen handy for calculating optimum maximum revenue and all that? Farming has never been so much fun. - xtinamo, on 06/16/2008, -0/+13I learned that mushrooms are gooood for you from super mario bros..
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 06/16/2008, -0/+13We've been on the frontpage a few times for different studies.
Go Knights! - mr.gates, on 06/16/2008, -0/+11I learned mushrooms were bad for you from Earthbound
- SocialPoison, on 06/16/2008, -0/+10Damn Harvest Moon... how'd they make a game about doing nothing so much fun?
- idavidtang, on 06/16/2008, -2/+11The title is misleading, its only educational video games.
And I thought seeing random damage numbers pop up in a RPG game would help my math skills.. - FeartheKnighted, on 06/16/2008, -0/+9UCF has done quite a bit. Especially in the Aerospace/Defense field (one of the top university for military research money). But diggers don't like those kinds of stories ( they are all about peace/love/hippies), so you don't see stories about that.
- feylanks, on 06/16/2008, -1/+9... and judging by xbox live commentary, greatly diminishes verbal scores
- naughtykha, on 06/16/2008, -3/+10Yes, I played number munchers on the mac.

GO KNIGHTS!!! - Scira, on 06/16/2008, -1/+6Actually I did learn from non educational video games. RPG's improved my reading comprehension. mostly final fantasy.
- inactive, on 06/16/2008, -1/+6yeah school!
- GregViers, on 06/16/2008, -1/+6I learned a lot from playing Civilization.
Strategy games are a lot more educational than most action games because you have to constantly make hard choices. - UtopiaInTheSky, on 06/16/2008, -0/+5We all know she's not really your girlfriend.
- slakkur, on 06/16/2008, -0/+4Not to mention all the laser, optics,and biotech research. It's a good school. Located in Orlando, how can you beat that? UCF Engineering is a ranked in the top 100 of schools. Industrial Engineering graduate program is ranked 33rd.

- SocialPoison, on 06/16/2008, -1/+5So you think it's a point and click sort of adventure, and as long as you pick the right dialog choices it's a foregone conclusion?
Come to think of it... I started off this comment to make fun of you, but then I realized it's disturbingly close to reality.
"Hey mister, how you doin'?"
1. "***** off, skank"
2. "Hey baby..."
3. [Buy her a Long Island Iced Tea]
