Blizzard has unleashed its April Fool’s Joke for this year, and it’s Blizzard Kidzz, a new edutainment software branch, featuring the adorable mascot, Zergling.
According to Blizzard’s product page, ”Blizzard Entertainment is proud to announce a new line of videogames set to capture the imagination of a whole new generation of gamers. Designed for a young audience, Blizzard Kidzz™ games strive to present children with not just the most epic, but also the most educational gaming experiences… ever.”
Among the edutainment titles being offered:
-
Zergling Teaches Typing (complete with Flash game demo)
-
Reader Ravager
-
The Westfall Trail
-
Turbo Science Vessel
-
Strat Blaster with Edmund Duke
-
Where In Sanctuary is Deckard Cain
All of the “games” pay wonderful homage to those late 1980’s, early 1990’s titles that tried to teach kids using the videogames, the crazy fad popular amongst the young people.
