Now this is my idea of an educational game:
Depending on how you touch the bunny, it reacts to being touched.
Players manipulate the creature (bunny) on the touchscreen, which gives them magical energy to fly
You can touch the bunny in different ways – stroking, scratching, tickling, etc
A game that teaches a person how to bring [...]

Well, to be more precise, these are video games which are emulated in Java, with a web-based front-end to find and launch games. But the end result is that one finds and plays video games directly from your browser!
Theoretically, this is browser- and platform-independent: as long as your platform can run a jvm and your [...]

This is one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen in a while: a Legend of Zelda music video. It’s obviously sponsored by Nintendo, and probably came out a decade ago (I wasn’t watching closely for a copyright notice). Link looks like a woman. The monsters are played by dancers in costumes.

OMG! OH MY GOD this game looks beautiful! Zelda Universe has a high-res trailer for the next Legend of Zelda game up right now. The game looks even better than I imagined. This is actually a pretty impressive use of the Gamecube.
