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.

Guru Meditation for Atari and iPhone
by Ian Bogost May 15, 2009

Health & Medicine Games
Long in development, I've finally completed and released Guru Meditation, my re-imagining of a game from Amiga lore. I've released the game simultaneously on Atari VCS and iPhone. The Atari version is a numbered, limited edition of 10 that comes with console, Joyboard controller, custom yoga mat, and instructions. The iPhone version is availble 99¢ on the iTunes App Store.
A lot more information can be found on the game webpage, including the history of the Joyboard, inspiration for the game, and my commentary on this and other meditation games.
