We like to see kids come back to good software the way they come back to a good book. (And we like to see parents get their money's worth, too.) So we tested every title for replay value. We asked ourselves and our test families:
We found that the more a program asks of a child, the more a child gets out of it. Many of the best programs are "tools" that let kids create something new and unique every time they play. Like art or story writing programs. For older kids, the challenge of a mystery or a quest to solve keeps them coming back - far more than a click-and-browse-type activity does.
