Eco-games? Yep, yep. Plenty Magazine has an interesting piece up taking a look at the green games phenomena. Games like Adventure Ecology teach kiddos about the environment's complex interdependencies in a way that linear media, like books, cannot. Benjamin Stokes, cofounder of Games for Change, a nonprofit group that supports serious game devs, sees striking similarities between games and nature—pointing that that both are interactive systems.
For the environmental movement, it makes perfect sense to use a video game as an educational tool... Video games are a mainstream form of media--they're not just for teenage boys in basements anymore,
Yeah, totally. That 50 inch plus plasma TV looks way better in the living room.
