Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

Normally, when the legal system and games are mentioned in the same sentence, it always seems to be about violence and sex and that video games have too much of them.  Well, it seems that a former Supreme Justice feels that video games are the best way to reach kids when it comes to the way the judicial system works in the United States.

Former Justice, Sandra Day O’Conner has teamed up with Georgetown University and Arizona State University to create an online game called Our Courts, which will teach 7th to 9th graders about the way our courts and justice system work.  Speaking at the Games for Change conference, O’Conner felt that our court system by and large, was misunderstood by the general public, and that designing a game for younger children would help with removing that misconception.

The game will take current events and situations that normally come in front of the courts, like a high school student wearing a controversial t-shirt to school, and put them in a way that teach kids about constitutional law.
