National Geographic Games

National Geographic getting into video games reports the formation of a
spin-off of the nonprofit National Geographic Society called National Geographic
Ventures that will create PC, console, and handheld video games based on
National Geographic's nature-themed television shows and its distinctive
yellow-bordered magazine. Their first title is Herod's Lost Tomb, a
hidden objects game that's already available for Windows and iPhone. NatGeo
stresses that they are offering "entertainment with substance," but that these
are games, not teaching materials. Word is: "Other upcoming titles include 'Rain
Forests' and 'Greencity,' slated for next year from National Geographic, as well
as 'National Geographic: Africa,' available next month from Sony."
