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.

Honoloko

Public Policy Games
(thanks Chris Franklin) The World Health Organisation and the European Environment Agency have produced Honoloko, an enviromental computer game. Based on the BBC story description plus the image on their site, this seems to be a simulation game, with no right or wrong answers but just a playground where to see the impact of daily decisions. I can't wait to play it! (notice that I am well beyond the 10-14 age group that they are targetting. But, who cares!)
