a great hotwash article over at mediashift on serious news games:
Are games worth doing? I’d give a qualified yes. One great thing about the web is that it offers journalists so many tools for telling stories: conventional text, interactive databases, audio, video, and so on. Games are another valuable tool.As the web matures, the key question we should ask ourselves is not, “Should we have an audio slide show or should we make a game?” Rather, we should ask, “How can we best engage and inform our readers about the topic at hand?”And sometimes the answer will no doubt be, “Yes, let's make a game.”
