Socially conscious games...from the white house

Hey all, here is the link to one of the websites taking about how the Obama administration wants to commission microsoft to develop a game of some sort to educate/inform about the us budget. I apologize for the lack of length in the article, Im still on the hunt for any source that has more information.

  1. i can't really find any other articles out there that are more in-depth than the one you provided, but this story interests me.

    i'm not so sure how successful this game would be though... it seems like most people want to play video games for fun entertainment, not to "balance the budget."

    it seems like the only way this game could be successful is if microsoft can come up with a REALLY interesting/engaging concept. otherwise, i think most people will pass.
