penguin_dance writes "The AP is reporting that National Geographic is getting into video games. A subset of the parent company, called National Geographic Ventures, will "work with game publishers to turn its material into games for PCs, consoles and handheld devices." The first title is out for the PC and i-phone. It's a hidden-objects game, called "Herod's Lost Tomb" and is built around their program on King Herod and an article in the magazine.
They also plan to publish and distribute games for the console market, including PS3 and Wii, as well as the handheld market. "The games will be drawn from a broad range of content and themes across National Geographic's properties."
"National Geographic: Africa," will be out next month, from Sony. Other upcoming titles include, "Rain Forests" and "Greencity." Available this month will be "National Geographic: Panda" for the Nintendo DS."
