For many today is the first day back at school after the holiday break, so we thought a school game would be appropriate. But calling today's featured game, educational is, well, at bit of a stretch.

Remember when you forgot to study for a test and, the class geek sat right next to you? In The Classroom you get to explore the art of cheating. Yes, you heard correctly a game that actually rewards cheating. The object of the game is to use your ninja like skills of stealth in order to avoid the teachers gaze. And we all know that the gaze is instantly fatal. Not only do you have avoid that gaze but you have to do it for long enough to copy all the test answers. You know, cheating isn't as easy as some people think.

In this game you are somewhat lucky, in that your teacher, like a prison guard, usually moves in a pattern. And like a escaping prisoner, you need to know when to make your move. Fortunately for you the geek that you're getting your answers from is obliging, and the rest of the class is pretty much neutral. Should you get to the fourth level in this game consider yourself lucky and getting past the fourth requires genius. We're told that it's not impossible, just very very difficult. In the spirt of the game we can't help but wonder if there is a cheat code. wink, wink, nudge, ndge.

We like this game because we haven't seen anything else out there like it. And it goes to prove that sometimes cheating is harder than actually studying ... but not as much heart-pounding fun!
