Videogames have huge educational potential — not only do they teach kids strategy but the content can be thought-provoking too. Take for example Eco Ego, a free online game that lets kids (and adults) roleplay a sweet little creature living in a tree stump. The goal is a Sims-like equilibrium with the natural environment.
Thanks to Inhabitat, a great website to check out if you’re into greener living and good design. They’ve launched a sister site for kids too, www.inhabitots.com.

Ego Ego is a cute game! It was a cross between Sims and Pikmin with an ecological twist.
