Taking games seriously
November 23rd, 2005 by Tom Johnson

Serious Games Initiative

http://www.seriousgames.org/



The Serious Games Initiative is focused on uses for games
in exploring management and leadership challenges
facing the public sector. Part of its overall charter
is to help forge productive links between the
electronic game industry and projects involving the use of
games in education, training, health, and public policy.





Says information specialists Marylaine Block:



 “As one who believes nobody should be allowed to run for office until they have played



Sim City for at least six months, I think such games have enormous



potential for helping people explore complex social problems and possible



solutions.”
