I have ZERO online game experience. Since I have to really get involved with certain game to be able to critique thoroughly, I chose to give Sesame Street Workshop a try. This is something I sit in front of and watch almost 4 times a week.
From educational stand point, I embrace this game site where kids can go and choose different games to play. It features different areas of practice, such as letters, numbers, colors, sizes,shapes, moving objects, games to improve kids' observation skills, etc, etc. My 4-year-old can dress up a monster while my 2-year-old can just simply do some coloring by moving the mouse. The best part is my kids love it, and they both learn from these games.

The interface of these games is very attractive. It's got colorful pictures and objects. There are audio instructions by characters from Sesame Street. In the middle of the game, if the child stops working, audio will start talking again and reminding the child of what needs to be done in order to finish the game. In my opinion, the game is as interactive as it can be. And my take on the game concept is: if it can make kids sit in their chair for more than 10 minutes, it's a successful game!
