Social Issue Game

Darfur is dying is what I played.  The issue that this game explores is the fact that different Darfur camps are being stalked by militia. They are also having trouble trying to fight off hunger and sickness. It did a great job of exploring this social issue. It was a well developed game, very thought out and prepared. This game was very fun and I could play it for several hours. It just had so much to explore and had a lot of fun aspects to the game. It is a very creative game.

In my community there isn't much poverty, I live in Teays Valley and it is pretty upscale. So there isn't much poverty here, the closest thing to poverty is in Huntington. Which is kinda a low income area. The Health in our are I think is pretty good, because we have several hospitals around the area. Also I think most people have health insurance and if they don't the hospital til takes them and puts it on the taxes. The environment is also in great condition. We are a great state with great green objectives, so this place is pretty environmental. The education is amazing in our community cause its free up to high school. After that college is pretty affordable compared to other states.

I am not totally sure yet what I want to focus my game on. I either want to do one about computers and what are the components of one. I also thought about doing something about the show LOST. I am not totally sure what I am going to do but hopefully in the next day or two I will. They should follow the hints that I will leave them. I want them to learn something that they haven't learn anywhere else, which they will want to keep playing to keep learning. But more details will come in the next day or two. I need to really think more about this game.
