#2I fail to see why this is news. I had games we played 20 years ago in school which taught me tons of stuff, math blasters for example.
Putting a game on a school reading list when there is already 100's of games on there, is not really news.
Kind of just seems like a ad than anything else.

Thats something else, i never saw a Game on a READING-list. And my teacher never told, so now you go to that Apple Lc2 and play some FlightSimulator, 2 good landings or you have to-do it as homework.

I see you mastered in not reading articles.

also this war of mine isn’t an ‘educational’ game (you would know if you actually read the article)

You could maybe compare it to putting the movie Schindler's List on a reading list.
(Text)books can only take one a certain depth into understanding these parts of history. Visual media helps making the unimaginable imaginable. Interactive media allows you to immerse and get a small grasp of the impossible choices and consequences surrounding of life in wartime.

Give the article a read, or play the game if you have time - it doesn't make sense to compare the qualities of This War of Mine, educational or otherwise, to those of Math Blaster. The fact that it's on a "reading list" should be the first clue. It really is a pretty interesting decision.

That's just semantics, but it certainly happened. It may have been more informal when I was growing up, but you still had to play games like "Midnight Rescue" as part of class work.
I do think it is silly to put it on a 'Reading List'. I prefer to create a new category.

#10Interesting move. Sadly kids nowadays (at least in Poland, where I live) don't like reading books and tend to skip even very important titles. This may be a good way to bring some interest in the history via a genuinely entertaining medium.
