Though a nice alternative to textbooks, My Japanese Coach isn't going to help you master Japanese; it will only give you a brief insight to the language. The game puts way too much emphasis on vocabulary and not enough on grammar, Japanese characters, comprehension etc. If you're looking to scratch the surface of the language, My Japanese Coach is for you. If not, save your money and try to find another way to learn Japanese.
NoBSGamers writes: "There was a time when the purpose of a video game was simple. It existed solely to entertain you. Sure, companies were in it for profit, but the product was all about fun. Today however, the sirens song of self improvement has warmed its way into the ears of game makers, and games that also teach have gone from Pre-K to a multi-million dollar industry."
Jessica Chobot shares some travel stories and gives her take on whether My Japanese Coach is for you.
With the Wii ushering in a new era of gaming for people who aren't adolescent and college kids, gamers may be surprised to see a sudden increase of real girls at their local Gamestop. The retailer is teaming up with feminine magazines for its "Sharpen the Mind, Shape the Body" promotion.
I really don't think this is going to work on most people. Then again, it's probably a very cheap promotion to run.
When you're stores look like most GameStop's do, I don't think many females will want to go in. Probably a worthless promotion.
What's up with all Gamestops smelling like a locker room? I was in one a few days ago that smelled like someone p!ssed all over everything.
I wonder if they'll try to pawn off that used game membership card on those poor, unsuspecting females.
Look it comes in pretty colors...
Personally I doubt that anyone would fall for that except for parent who don't really pay attention
