Why a Gaming Page?

The truth is I have played a lot of videogames both as a kid and as an adult and I can tell you that I learnt far more economics from Simcity than I did from my My year 9 Accounting teacher.  I learnt more about history from Civilization and Call of Duty than from a text book.  Above all else I had a hell of a lot of fun playing endless hours of 4 player MarioKart and Goldeneye as a teenager as  my mind worked overtime trying to keep ahead of mates to outwit, out strategize and generally punish them at every opportunity.  Games are excellent learning tools and every kid knows this - see what you can learn about them.
