This week's Technology supplement goes a little games crazy, with three - if you count the reviews as one, and I am - articles that should interest anyone reading this blog. First up is Aleks, who argues that games have untapped educational potential. I'd agree, although I'm still scarred by a near-miss in the mid eighties as my dad nearly bought us an "educational" BBC B rather than the C64 that we finally persuaded him was "better for school". Anyone else get a Beeb from a misguided parent?

Elsewhere there are the latest reviews - Guitar Hero, Tomb Raider and Driver: Parallel Lines - and my article about casual games being the future, or at least a profitable present. And I didn't even get space to properly mention the online elements of the PS3 and Revolution.
