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.

Contest for Yourth Work Games

by Ian Bogost September 6, 2006

categories: Educational Games

Computer Space 2006 announces a contest for online and mobile games created for youth work. From the announcement:

The aim of the proposed games should be to provide modern training tools and examples for youth trainers and organizers of youth events and to provocative exploration of important topics in the youth work like human rights, intercultural learning, youth project management etc. All the produced games will be distributed for free in the youth centers and youth organizations

We're a bit late coming to this, so you'll have to act quickly; the deadline is 20 September.
