Comments on: Serious Games http://www.petergiles.net/2007/04/serious-games/ by Peter Giles Mon, 08 Aug 2011 14:11:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Col http://www.petergiles.net/2007/04/serious-games/comment-page-1/#comment-1707 Col Thu, 09 Aug 2007 07:30:15 +0000 http://www.aftrsmedia.com/digimedia/?p=56#comment-1707 I've been having a bit of a look at another serious game called Global Conflicts: Palestine, which puts you in the role of a journalist writing stories on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. You talk to people on all sides, run side errands to curry favour with locals and take quotes from conversations you've had with people in the process of going on raids with the Israeli military, visiting checkpoints etc. Haven't gotten far yet - I've only managed to get my first news story on page 7 and I think I can do better :) but it's a very interesting approach to the subject matter. I have a few postings on games in education at http://elearningnews.edublogs.org/ but am really finding my feet at the moment. Looking forward to reading more here cheers Col I’ve been having a bit of a look at another serious game called Global Conflicts: Palestine, which puts you in the role of a journalist writing stories on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
