I'm not sure how those games are really educational, maybe just historical? In that sense maybe puzzle games could be considered educational, since they teach problem solving?

I think there should be more truly educational games (spelling, math games). What better way could there be to convince parents to get videogames for their kids.

There are lots of educational games, but they have their own consols. Most of them are some crap system by Milton Bradley or something where you play really odd games. I used to have a really good edu-system though. It was called the Pico, a SEGA system where most of the games were disney and stuff. They were educational, teaching Math, History, and other things, but it was cool because it was done really well and used a touch board which you drew on with a pen, and had a few buttons. The games came in the form of a book on a consol, and flipping the page turns to the next level. There were a LOT of tings to do.
