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.

The Writing Program Adminstrators Game

by Ian Bogost April 3, 2009

categories: Educational Games

The Council of Writing Program Administrators, the professional organization for programs in college composition, has announced that the 2008 WPA Award for Graduate Writing in WPA Studies has been awarded to a board game. The game, titled simply "The WPA Game," was created by six Purdue University students.

Unfortunately I can't find any more information about or images of the game, but you can read the WPA's announcement here.
