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.

Persuasive Games among This Year's Hot Toys, for the green anyway

We've stopped posting press coverage here, for fear that it will just look like self-aggrandizement, but every now and then there's something worth sharing with our readers here.
Here's such a one. I found out today that The Green Guide, which bills itself as a "green living source for today's conscious consumer," has listed Persuasive Games work on its list of This Year's Hot Toys. Now, you can't box 'em up and put them under the tree, but if you want a (100% recycled) giftbox with a CD in it, just let me know :)
