A New TRG
A while back, I mentioned Superstruct, a not-so-alternate reality game based on predicting the future and stimulating creative thinking about likely future crises. There's also World Without Oil, a game based on a near-future oil crash scenario. Now there's another game in that vein, starting in March, called Evoke, billing itself as both a game and "a crash course in changing the world".
The creator of the ESP Game made a compelling case that solitaire-hours could be put to work on computational tasks, but maybe there are even more powerful ways that games could be turned to social good. It will be interesting to watch people's attempts to explore that problem space.
