Educational, but fun enough that he doesn't seem to notice. ;) I think, also, there's a lot of value in games that aren't specifically 'edutainment' but can teach nonetheless, like Civilization, SimCity, and so on.

I was a fan of Number Munchers and Oregon Trail in my younger years...so those are definite favorites of mine. Later in college I picked up a copy of Typing of the Dead and finally learned how to touch type like a normal person. It was the one game that successfully got me to type faster. So that definitely is one of my personal favorites. In General though most are not so good. Started a company to look into making fun educational games (for iphone/ipod touch)...wrote a blog post in general about <a href="http://hugapanda.com/blog/2010/01/whats-wrong-with-educational-games/" rel="nofollow">problems with educational gaming</a>. unfortunately i think the list of Educational Games That Don’t Suck is a lot smaller than the list of Educational Games That DO Suck.
