TitleRecommended Computer Games for Learning Languages
Body
Here are a few interactive computer games, mostly French, for learning languages recommended by LLTI listserv users:

"Twinsen's Little Big Adventure 2" also known as "Twinsen's Odyssey" is a graphical adventure game that includes lots and lots of spoken French dialogue (when you choose that language at startup), and is pretty engrossing. Here's a website with info: http://www.mrbillsadventureland.com/reviews/s-t/twinsenR/twinsen2R.htm .

"Learn French Or Die" from DK Interactive Learning comes in several languages and it looks like fun.

Have a look at Yabla Clic, http://clic.yabla.com . Try any video in the "FREE DEMO" section and click the GAME button at the bottom of the Yabla Player. This is a randomly generated "cloze" listening challenge, thus you can play any number of times, with a different game every time. If each user has their own user name, then results can be tracked and scores tallied per user.

On the Kindersite there are a few interactive games suitable for young students in Spanish. http://www.kindersite.org .

I used the German version of World of Warcraft for an introductory class last year, and I thought it went pretty well. There is a French version as well. You can learn from my mistakes and get the technical information here: www.nitle.org/index.php/nitle/transformations/2007_4_13 .
