Exciting news thus Sunday morning, as Blizzard has released news of several new products today. The biggest new offering is Blizz Kidzz, a line of educational software targeted at the youth demographic.
[blue]Games can be incredibly useful tools to teach players valuable skills and life lessons. To help young gamers take learning “to the max™,” we’re launching Blizzard Kidzz: a suite of educational games set in the Blizzard game universes. Blizzard Kidzz games will cover important subjects for gamers aged 6 and up, including mathematics, reading/writing, science, history, and more![/blue]
They’ve got several sample games displayed, including the live demo of a handy Zerg-themed typing tutorial. Hope your Z key is working! The only one so far with a Diablo theme is a geography tutorial that follows the madcap adventures and eventual torturous imprisonment hanging in a gibbet that awaits Deckard Cain.
