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.

Across the pond, Channel 4 and Microsoft are hosting a 48 hour "game camp" at the University of Derby on March 20, with games to be created in XNA 3.0. The jam-like event will be themed, with the themes to be announced at the event. Here's how the organizers describe it:
The event will be themed to challenge the students to develop games that look beyond the traditional puzzle or first person shooter in a bid to create new conversations around gaming and attract the attention of new audiences.
We'll have to wait to see the outcomes, but apparently you'll be able to follow along on Twitter and YouTube and the like.
