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.

We've been remiss in failing to mention the release of PeaceMaker, the game about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict created by former Carnegie Mellon ETC students under their new shingle ImpactGames.
I want to write a more detailed review of the game, but I haven't yet played it enough to be prepared to do so. Until then, you can read a lengthy review from Ernest Adams over on Gamasutra. It's also a very positive review.
