BLOG: about two video games from the list. Talk about how they fit into the genre of games we talked about in class and how they fit into your own ideas about advertising, education, and politics.
http://www.planetgreengame.com This is a game put out by Starbucks Coffee partnered with Global Green USA. The game doesn’t show Starbucks Logos or Coffee which was different from other game presented by food chains. The game is about living in today's society with the threat of global warming. You are given choices to choose from like the type of car you drive. As you go around you find way to lower your CO2 emissions and reduce your impact on global warming. As you go around the town you face challenges which gives you a higher score. I think Starbucks partnered up with Global Green USA to show consumers that they are eco-friendly company and by buying Starbucks you are helping the planet. This game is very educational due to the fact, that there are mini quizzes that help you find ways to reduce your carbon foot print. Politics aren’t that involved in this game. Global warming is a political topic that some believe to be skeptical.
http://www.darfurisdying.com This game is put by MTV and Reebok Shoes. Their logos are only shown at the bottom of some pages. You pick a character and you go around collecting water and helping out in the refugee camp. This game shows some of the things that the people in Dafar go through. This game isn’t about advertising. This game shows the political, social, and education aspect of Darfur. It shows you that the Sudan government is bad and kills innocent people. The game educates you to be more aware of the issues Sudanese people face. Also it wants to go get involved and join peace groups and anti-war campaigns.
Lickglobalwarming.com This is another global warming game. It is put out by Ben and Jerry's. Unlike the Starbucks global warming game, you can tell Ben and Jerry put out this game. They advertise their logo the main page. Also the font is the same front they use at the Ben and Jerry cartons and their menus. The main purpose of the game is to drive around to different places stopping to educate you on how to curb your carbon output. I believe this game has a little bit of politics (global warming is accepted by all politicians) advertising (their logos and font) and education (teaching us treat the earth better)
