It's like Book It from Pizza Hut. The whole school was on that program in grade school...get enough reading time in a certain amount of time, and you get a free personal pan pizza! It was a big deal for kids...definitely encouraged reading and education.
Unlike that Accelerated Reader program...BARF. We had to read a certain amount of books within the month, and had mini quizzes on the computer to see if we really read and understood the books. Then you earned points towards prizes...the more you read, the better the prizes. The prizes weren't that great though...mainly candy and toys...with the cool electronics requiring a LOT of points. The problem was, we had a certain requirement of points each period...so it got tedious to have to read so many books out of necessity...I was a slower reader and preferred reading on my own time, and what I wanted to read. Certain books were worth more points, so of course we were all reading the impossibly huge books. Eh...not enjoyable at all. No free pizza involved.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
