check out the Knowledge Adventure range... Games with an educational slant... http://www.knowledgeadventure.com/
You should still be able to buy a lot of their CDs in the bargain bin at Game... or online.

Can get quite a few there, also seen some in afrikaans on the racks at game.
Other option is Incredible Corruption, thats if you have money to throw around.
