The most effective educational game I played so far in the games gallery would have to be "In 2 the world" which is a game about traveling in a ship to earth while trying to avoid other planets. If you die however you get neat facts about the solar system. I would put this as a action game since it is fast paced and challenging but not as a platformer. The game looks good, it give a clear and simple purpose to fulfill but at the same time isn't as easy as it seems. Only through trial and error can you beat it. This game makes me want to Learn how to code objects like the planets to interact with the playable character in both positive and negative effects. Also I would like to learn to learn how to figure out how the planets change speeds, and how they do it.
Next however is the game I think is the least educational. "Heresy" is a fun game don't get me wrong, however it doesn't teach any kind of values or lesson, other than the fact its bad to be shot. Its a simple action game where you go through the level trying to survive and press the buttons and get to the exit. Action games can be good for learning purposes proven by the game above. The game looks like it was someone baby, that they put quite a bit of time into it and it looks great. It is probably the most enjoyable game on here, however it doesn't really serve its general purpose of education. If he wanted to he could add some educational values, but he would have to majorly change the layout of the game to do so. Though i would love to know how he does a lot of the stuff in the game, such as the the moving ramps that you have to jump on, and also the commands to attack and move which have to have their own animation and script.
