I disagree. I don't think that the point of the assignment is totally game related, it's just one way to use java. Although using a game specific language may be "cooler", using java makes more sense in the usefulness category.
Assuming these students all go on to graduate, I would assume a great many of them who end up programming would be using a language such as java versus a very small percentage actually programming using a game specific language.
