Research Friday Week 2

Of course there is a Rating on the front cover ( I noticed that they children's games were rated either everyone or 10+)

You can tell it was probably done in flash - or the artists created images that would be easy to port to flash

my favorite one though! I love Zombies.

but wait, where's the game information!?

Aha! Its inside a fold in the cover of the game case.

cool glossy and gold cover! love that kind of stuff

Here the cheapest one in the row (Play!) was $14.96
