I'm not entirely joking.

Typing of the Dead was the shit! And currently, I'm addicted to Brain Age even though it really isn't a "game" in the traditional sense.
And as far as educational games primarily being crap, I'd have to agree. There needs to be a educational game revolution! In fact, I'm working with 3 other guys to start a casual educational games company with a focus on music ed. I think it's key to camoflage or burry educational elements deep within addictive gameplay, and thus far that hasn't been accomplished. We'll be pitching a few game ideas for learning disabled kids to a connection with the Chicago public school system here in the next few months.
One thing though, I think a lot of games inspire further education, cause hell they've inspired me to do art, design, and music. For others they inspire kids to learn programming languages.
Oh yeah, I will give props to one of my fav edu games.... Where in the World is Carmen San Diego!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
