BOULDER, Colo., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor InterActive, Inc., the children's interactive "edutainment" company, today announces its partnership with FillpointSVG, a leading distribution service and Internet fulfillment provider in the video game industry. Mentor InterActive, born out of the University of Colorado at Boulder, partners with FillpointSVG for sales and distribution of My Virtual Tutor(TM) Reading Adventures for Nintendo DS.
