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.

Serious Games Source, Gamasutra's new sister site, is a welcomed addition to set of online resources for people interested in games with an agenda. I just published an article for the site, called Serious Games and the Japanese Toilet. It mainly deals with training games not just as training tools but also as communication tools. It is written from a designer perspective but I hope it can be interesting to non-designers as well.
