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.

Toilet Training for iPhone

In my 2007 book Persuasive Games, i discuss a wonderful advergame for the Britvic pacer-drink J2O. The game challenged the player to pee accurately into a toilet after drinking pint after pint of beer. The advertised product, a sort of fancy sugar water, helped with recovery in the same way . I don't think the game's online anymore, but you can read about it in this old press release.
Well, now there's a version of a similar concept for iPhone: Drunk Sniper. Same type of gameplay, but now you can play in the toilet stall too. Available now for 99¢ in the App Store.
