Persuasive Games
August 11, 2008 – 7:05 am
Think games are just for fun? Think again. That’s the slogan for Persuasive Games, designers of electronic games that influence players to take action through gameplay. With games like Fatworld, which explores the politics of nutrition, Points of Entry which covers immigration issues, or Elemental, which teaches kids about chemistry, the focus is on learning through hands-on participation. The idea is by actually “doing something” instead of just “watching it” people are more likely to see how they can make a difference in real life.
