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.

Throw the Book at OJ

The Game Show Network, who previously brought us a Mel Gibson newsgame, has created a new one lampooning the recent ill-fated O.J. Simpson book. Throw the Book at O.J. is a simple target shooting game in which the player throws books at O.J.'s head. Meanwhile, Simpson throws footballs at the player.

I love the sportscenter music in the background.

Too bad they canned the book, it sounds like a riveting read.
