Granted, I'm not a game player, but this one sounds very cool for teaching children and adults more about gardening and good bugs.
Info from BugFarm.com about it:
Bugfarm is a DVD-Rom simulation game that teaches children 7+ about gardening and the insect world. Players plant and maintain a virtual garden, choosing crops from acorn squash to zucchini. Pest insects move in as the plants grow, and soon there's a battle being waged over the vegetables. The Spined Soldier Bug is the hero, protecting the garden from the bad bugs.
In the game, you'll play two roles...
As the farmer/gardener, you select crops for your vegetable garden and maintain your plants with water, nutrition and pest control. As the garden grows, you'll see the effects of pest damage and will have the choice to combat it with organic methods, or use pesticides as a last resort.
Protect it from enemies
Your other ro
le is that of the Spined Soldier Bug, a beneficial insect. You'll crawl, climb and fly almost anywhere within a three-dimensional garden. Like a real bug, you'll hunt your enemies down wherever they are... and rack up points in the process!

Quotes
“In God’s wilderness lies the hope of the world – the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and the wounds heal ere we are aware.” -- John Muir
"To know something about trees--about even one tree--is to know something profound about the nature of the world and our place in it." -- Gerald Jonas
"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out that there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is." -- Albert Camus
Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher "standard of living" is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free. For us the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television, and the chance to find a pasque-flower is a right as inalienable as free speech. -- Aldo Leopold (1886-1948)
"We will do better in all aspects of life if we learn to "let go" of all we hold so tightly to and realize that control is a myth and striving for it is insanity." -- Donna L. Watkins
