Default Re: Video Game for Learning English

In terms of market, in the UK all schools and colleges are linked to the internet, most with dedicated resource centres. This pattern will be found around mosty of the better-off countries, so there could well be a market for a game such as this. At present, there are very few games available and most are of a very low stabdard in terms of playability, which makes me think that a game that is designed professionally in gaming terms could break the mold. If you look at the games on the BBC Skillwise site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/games/), you'll see what I mean. Most games haven't been designed by people who play games, but by teachers trying to jazz things up a bit.
