Persuasive Games Announces a Series of Editorial Newsgames to Run Exclusively in the New York Times
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 5, 2007 -- Persuasive Games, a leading developer of videogames for social change, instruction, and persuasion, announces an unprecedented publishing relationship with The New York Times, who will publish the studio's monthly editorial "newsgames."
"This represents a monumental step for videogames as a form of cultural expression," said Dr. Ian Bogost, Co-Founder and Partner at Persuasive Games. "The NY Times is recognizing videogames' ability to editorialize, to comment on the world we live in, just like writing or cartoons."
"Food Import Folly" is the first in an ongoing series of monthly editorial newsgames to run exclusively on the NYTimes.com TimesSelect service.
"Food Import Folly" makes commentary on the current state of our international food import inspection system. Today, the FDA inspects less than 2% of foods imported to the United States. "Food Import Folly" is available for play now at: http://select.nytimes.com/2007/05/24/opinion/20070524_FOLLIES_GRAPHIC.html (subscription required).
"The concept of "Playing the News" is not new for Persuasive Games", said Gerard LaFond, Co-Founder and Partner at Persuasive Games. "In the past we've created many news-inspired videogames like Airport Insecurity (about the TSA), Bacteria Salad (about agribusiness and food safety) and Oil God (about the global petroleum market). We believe the idea of games and news gives a player unique insight to the issue or topic. The opportunity to do this in the context of the NY Times was very appealing."

Play Games Often
Two weeks ago, a friend of mine called me to inform me that it was about time we should meet, since apart from our weeks, also our weekends have been rather busy and we did not have the chance of meeting and spending some time together and have fun. Unfortunately, although I accepted his invitation to go to a beach volley match and play with his team, the weather destroyed our plans as it was pouring rain all weekend and then we both were working during the weeks that followed. As you can probably understand, our appointment got postponed to indefinite and we were left blaming the weather and our luck.
