Great Math Game (Timez Attack)

I recently visited JenIG blog. She was talking about this great new computer video game called TIMEZ ATTACK. By Big Brainz. I downloaded the free verision today. My son L-O-V-E-S it. He has been playing it for a while now. He gets so excited at each level passed.


The way JenIG (see full blog on this here) wrote up the game say's it best.


"characters have to walk around and figure things out and then battle against bad guys. In other words, it is fun and has challenging elements that make kids want to play. But here’s the kicker, when you get certain keys, you have to defeat *bad guys* by entering in proper multiplication answers"

"I’ve never seen an ‘educational video game’ that plays like this.


We will be buying the verision very soon. Thanks Jen for the link. It is awesome!!



As a side note, there is nothing graphic what-so-ever in this. When you kill the bad guys they simply flop over or they *poof* disappear. It is neither violent nor gruesome. It’s just fun."
