Now whoever says gaming doesn’t help. I beg to differ, atleast this one instance. Red Herring is running an interview with Ivan Marovic, one of the architects of the Otpor youth movement in Yugoslavia, that was responsible for overthrowing Milosevic. They will always be remembered for their non-violent approach to regime change. Be it their spray paints or street plays, they sure have become a symbol of sorts for youth across many countries. And now Marovic has come up with a strategy game that teaches gamers how to try changing governments through peaceful means. While I am yet to see the game firsthand…If nothing else, i thought that was atleast an attempt at injecting something useful through games. I was thinking of this issue more after reading how a bunch of professors, gaming programmers and software company execs were sharing a ride on the high seas trying to figure out how to make gaming more pervasive in the classroms and how to make sure the students learn more out of ‘em…..Sure, bring ‘em all and more aboard. But I’d rather see a piece of software that *really* makes learning interesting, rather than a FPS where one can get to count body bones ;)
