There have been many attempts at creating educational games with the hopes that students would immediately consume the game content while gaining mastery in a particular subject area as a byproduct.  Where most of these ventures have failed is that the games they create don’t have the engagement/aesthetic appeal of modern video games.  Well a company by the name of  Big Brainz has decided to throw their hat in the ring and challenge the major game consoles and pc games developers.  They have created a math game called Timez Attack that focuses on building core, fundamental multiplication skills.  It includes pre and post-assessment and the graphics are truly fantastic.  Kudos to Big Brainz for succeeding where many others have failed!
