Paper Abstract:	Developing an educational game is a complex process with additional challenges to those found in other types of game development. In educational game development, a team is usually necessary to address the educational goals of the game, the content needed, and the applications of learning scientists and research in addition to multimedia design specialists. This paper shares a framework used for game review as a second stage of our research group’s four-stage game development process. The process for review was used by an interdisciplinary educational game design team that evaluated existing games to inform the design and development of an early algebra game. The framework offers a structured means for assessing existing games and identifying how to incorporate missing elements of current games into our latest game design work.
