The New York Times' Clive Thompson writes an Arts & Leisure front page article today (Sunday, July 23rd) on the current field of 'games for change'. It is a broad study of the main objectives and arguments from within the field via the brief analysis of some examples currently out there. Our Darfur game project is discussed, as are: Peacemaker, A Force More Powerful, September 12th & Madrid, Food Force, Persuasive Games, USC's Annenberg School's game initiatives, gameLab's partnership with the Univeristy of Wisconsin (and their corresponding MacArthur grant), Super Columbine Massacre RPG!, and MIT's Professor Henry Jenkins.
