Water Cooler Games
Water Cooler Games served as the web's primary forum for "videogames with an agenda" — coverage of the uses of video games in advertising, politics, education, and other everyday activities, outside the sphere of entertainment.
The site was maintained at watercoolergames.org from 2003-2009, where it was edited by myself and Gonzalo Frasca. It is now archived here in full.

Airport Security Awarded Jury Prize at Games for Change

This year's Games for Change Festival featured an expo in which some of the community showed games we had created during the last year. A panel of judges reviewed these games, and last night awards were given out for the "best games for change."
I'm happy to announce that Persuasive Games' Airport Security was awarded one of the three top jury prizes, for "Best Social Commentary/ Art Game." Other jury awards included Peacemaker for Best Transformation Game and Ayiti: Cost of Life for Best Awareness-Raising Game.
As a part of the award we collected an official "GaCha" award statue, depicted at top right.
