GamePro Arcade writes: "Language is an extremely powerful tool. In mastering letters, word structure and the overall feel of how to use it, the possibilities are endless. Not only do letters and words form the necessities of a major language, but they apparently can defeat monsters and bosses in stories too. In Bookworm Adventures Vol. 2, you'll come accustomed to playing Lex, a very popular, cute and genius-like worm who bases his entire life around word compulation. The smarter he (or, you) are, the further he trucks along the three storybooks, attacking enemies and slipping by them for hours of family fun."
Sim City is an obvious choice, but what other games can be used to teach youngsters - and oldsters - useful skills and interesting facts?
GameGuru writes: "Lex, the adorable green worm with typically nerdy glasses and a bow tie is back! To once again battle it out one-on-one with amusing rivals backed by the mantra; The pen is mightier than the sword. But our charming hero Lex goes through this whole expedition with a secret motive of saving someone from the claws of death."
Bookworm Adventures: Volume 2 is great for kids but fun enough to cross the age gap. Its simple game play is immediately learnable and infinitely enjoyable. As someone who is terrible at Boggle and outright hates Scrabble, it's something of a miracle that I enjoy the game so, and also a testament that Popcap's creation is one that all but the most self-conscious gamers will love.
