Within Range?Sounds like a great title for a first-person shooter.
Not quite. The edu-game, created by students at Carnegie-Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center, is designed to teach players how the Library of Congress classification system works. And even Fox News can't whine about that.
Probably...
Check it out.

But beware, a Florida attorney is not gonna like this game I think. :P
(This one got greenlighted on Fark.com a week or so ago.)
Not to mention that, in a sense, it teaches about two dimensional arrays as well.

... Towards the end of it, I just stopped caring. I'd put them back into the right place, but when it came time to scan the shelves my eyes would glaze over and I would go through the motions, without even SEEING the labels. Once I got between two shelves, I'd find an interesting book and read. The Biography section was the worst, no shelves opposite each other, I couldn't read.
I almost didn't notice. ;)

It trains our poor innocent children how to find books of adult nature in a library!!!!
This is the worst most explicit game I have ever seen!!!
We must Ban it!!!

At this point I think a rant like this by 'experts' is not out of the question...
