      <title>Zoombinis Island Odyssey</title>
      <link>http://serious.gameclassification.com/games/43101-Zoombinis-Island-Odyssey/index.html</link>
      <description>Zoombinis Island Odyssey is the third game in the Zoombinis series of educational games. In this game the zoombinis return home after finding out that the Bloats have left the island after doing much ecological damage to it. Now they try to restore the balance and save the zerbles an endangered species by re-establishing their food chain and do zerbles genetics research. The player starts out with creating an party of twelve volunteer zoombinis. The zoombinis can be customized with different feet eyes nose color and hairstyle. Once a party has been created its time to set sail to Zoombini Island. The game consists of seven activities as followsThe catapult - When the zoombinis arrive at the island they have to use a catapult to launch themselves onto the island. The player uses a gear contraption to launch stones at the catapult so that the zoombinis one at a time are sent onto the island.  The wall - Each zoombini carries a caterpillar and has to deliver it to a tree so that it can be nourished and turned into a moth. A wall is in the way though and the player has to open a door so that the zoombinis can pass through. This is done by placing tiles on the wall. Each tile has four shapes and these has to match with hieroglyphic characters that are written above each socket in the wall.  The planetarium - Here its time to metamorphose the caterpillars into moths. This is done by activating special lighting effects. There are two exhibits in the planetarium that represents the movements of the earth and the sun. One shows the sun shining on earth as it rotates from a space perspective while the other shows the suns movement in the sky from an earth perspective. The player here has to match a certain time in both of the exhibits by using coins to advance the time.  The greenhouse - The moths are used to pollinate snozzleberry seedlings so that they can bear fruit. The player is presented with a field of plants and has to lead the moths on a path through it and towards the right seedling. Each moth has a plant attribute that it is attracted to and each plant has a variation of three attributes color shape and number of leaves.  The garden - In the garden the seedlings must be planted before sunset so that they can bear the fruit needed by the zerbles. Here the player meets Arno the Tree Stump who gives advice on where to plant the seedlings. Each plant consists of four parts roots stalks leaves and flowers and depending on these features they can be planted in different holes.  The corral - Now the player has the food needed to feed the zerbles. The problem is that the zerbles are very shy and fussy about what they eat. Each zerble only eat certain snozzleberries so the player has to use light projectors to lure the zerbles towards the right snozzleberries.  The barn - After being fed the zerbles are ready to repopulate the island with babies. The zerbles have different kinds of feet wheel claw or pontoon which determines what of the three regions of the island desert forest and wetlands they can live in. The player here has to pair up male and female zerbles so that they produce babies with the desired features for each region.  sourcemobygames</description>

      <title>Your Shape Fitness Evolved</title>
      <link>http://serious.gameclassification.com/games/42911-Your-Shape-Fitness-Evolved/index.html</link>
      <description>OverviewYour Shape Fitness Evolved is the first exercise gameprogram for Microsofts Kinect and was part of its launch lineup.  The game focuses entirely on fitness routines led by virtual trainers and is divided into structured personal training pick-up fitness classes and active gym games.  Workouts are geared toward men and women and feature routines created by staff of Mens Health and Womens Health magazines.New players must build a profile within the game and go through a simulated futuristic scanning routine locating various muscle groups and measuring data like height and arm span.  Players then run through a fitness test to gauge their relative abilities and answer a quiz about their lifestyle and fitness goals.  The player is then rated as Beginner Trained or Advanced and the appropriate classes are unlocked. Classes are grouped according to difficulty 1.1 1.2 etc up to 4.x.  The player does not have to start at the suggested class and may choose to start at an easier difficulty instead - however a lower-ranked player must complete their class before unlocking the next difficulty level.GameplayGameplay takes place in a sterile white virtual environment or inside a simple virtual gym.  The player is projected into the scene similar to watching oneself in a mirror allowing them to easily follow the virtual trainers moves without taking their eyes off the screen.  The Kinect tracks the players skeleton and grades them on accuracy of performing the activity based on a number of key factors.  For example a squat punch routine will grade the player both on depth of the squat and on punching - if the player does not do both they do not receive full credit for the activity. Using the skeletal data the voice of the games trainer will guide the player on how to improve alongside the visual element of seeing their projection not matching the CG trainer.The players active area is marked by a green border within the game.  If their projected image ventures outside of the cameras visual range the projection will start to dissipate and mist away.  Game elements will certainly move the player within the green border but never outside of it.  The border is also used as a visual cue during training classes and turns gray if the player falls out of sync with the virtual trainer.Using the Kinect Your Shape requires no controls or accessories. Menus are driven with gestures and routines are designed to punch the air move in place and similar activities that do not require gym equipment.  However as the player is not required to hold or wear any sensors they are free to use any items they may have such as wrist weights or dumbbells. Some modes will recommend when and how much additional weight to use.ModesPersonal Training is a series of routines devoted to that players ability and their fitness goals.  The player follows a linear four-week progression of classes at their own pace.  Fitness Classes are specialty classes available at any time. At launch the available options are Cardio Boxing and Zen with the option to add more in the future as DLC.  The Gym Games are more fun activities and can be played in a 4-player party mode.  There are four to choose from at launchVirtual Smash presents the player with patterns of floating blocks to punch or knee. This mode was showcased in early demos and the player is graded on speed an accuracy.  Light Pace requires the player to step on moving light targets inside the cameras view space.  Loop-A-Hoop requires the player to rotate their hips while using an imaginary hula-hoop.Stack em Up challenges a players balance and requires them to hold their arms outstretched like a platform to collect and balance blocks. After a certain point a pit on the left or right will open up and the player tilts the blocks into the pit.There is no support for online play but players can link and track their stats on the games website. sourcemobygames</description>

      <title>You Dont Know Jack</title>
      <link>http://serious.gameclassification.com/games/42888-You-Dont-Know-Jack/index.html</link>
      <description>You Dont Know Jack marks the series first official box release in about eight years after YDKJ6 The Lost Gold.  The series was almost exclusively for the PC but the new release has been designed with consoles in mind while retaining the wit and quirky pop-trivia questions of the famous series and web game.YDKJ supports up to four players all participating in a fictional gameshow hosted by snarky Cookie Masterson.  The shows format is based around asking standard pop culture or general knowledge questions in unconventional ways.  Players are asked to quickly decide if a description matches one item Dis or another Dat answer science questions framed in hypothetical antics of the cast of Jersey Shore or decipher Cookies terrible attempt at ventriloquism through dummy Billy OBrian which he pronounces Dilly ODrien. Questions are presented in a multiple-choice format with four answers mapped to the consoles face buttons or the Wiimotes direction pad.Players also have the option once each round to screw another player if they believe they dont know the correct answer.  Screwed players have five seconds to pick an answer.  If they get it right they get a point bonus and the screwer has points taken away.  After ten questions divided into two rounds players take on the Jack Attack - where the player who rings in first when two matching words cross the screen takes the points.New for the 2011 version of YDKJ is the ability for all players to answer every question.  Previously the first player to ring in was the only to answer - in the new version each player answers with the speed of their answer dictating a point bonus.  Unlike older versions questions are not randomized.  Instead the game is divided into 70 fixed episodes of the show with support for more to be downloaded as DLC for the PS3 and Xbox 360.  Each episode is sponsored by a fictional companyproduct which inspires the Wrong Answer of the Game.  This question is as the title suggests wrong for the question in which it appears but does match the theme or otherwise reference the fake product sponsoring that episode.  Players who select the Wrong Answer of the Game are rewarded with an 8000 bonus to their score.  The player receives the fake product as a prize as well which is kept in a trophy screen off the main menu - encouraging replay of the episodes to collect them all.You Dont Know Jack supports both local and network multiplay on the PS3 and Xbox 360.  Network play is slightly hindered during reaction-based games such as the Jack Attack.  Network multiplayer and DLC support is not included in the Wii version.  Only two players locally are supported in the PC version. sourcemobygames</description>
