  GameDev.net -- Serious Games Summit 2004 Report
To integrate games with training, he talked about "games as momentum" to generate enthusiasm among trainees, "games as a measure" of retention of the material presented, and "games as instruction" via simulated situations.
Some games are less suitable to healthcare purposes (he talked about using FPS's to treat fear spiders, since shooting seems effective in that case, but he added that he would like to move past that to gameplay mechanics that offered more depth), but others have been surprisingly effective.
As games mature as a medium of expression, and as they become a still more important part of mainstream culture, their use in education (and training, and physical therapy, and pyschotherapy, and...) is inevitable.

 Laurie Taylor : Presentation Proposals for ChLA 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Movable books, video games, and interactive software are performative in the sense that they require physical activity to progress the narrative and in the sense that they require active reading for the meaning-making of the often imagistic stories.
While video games are often lauded for their interactive elements, they are far from the only children's texts that allow for an interactive performance of the text.
Video games, as presenting active play, are currently configured mainly as toys for boys in much the same way that toy theaters were once designed for the same sort of active play for boys.

Occasionally, however, a game comes along—PacMan, Myst, The Sims, NeoPets, to name a few—that manages to cross the gender gap through innovative new approaches to game play and art direction that seem to be equally appealing to both males and females of all ages.
The work of the proposed panelists covers a range of issues of gender in gaming at a number of levels, including the design of games that specifically address issues of gender-inclusiveness, as well as scholarly work on such issues as gender representation, cross-gender play, gender and game space, and emergent game cultures.
The discussion will also cover essential issues in game-making, such as the underlying gender biases in the game engine architectures and modding tools, and core assumptions in game studies, such as the position that games must be competitive and conclude in a state of “winning,” a highly gendered perspective.

 Jerz's Introduction (Storytelling and Computer Games; UWEC Panel, May 2001)
I haven't played many of the modern commercial computer games in the last couple years, really since I took this job about three years ago, which was also about the time my son was born -- and there's a connection between those.
Having Scott here to share with us his thoughts on computer games is not unlike what it would be like to have Alfred Hitchcock here to talk about suspense films or Jane Austen here to talk about the history of the British novel.

 Gamasutra - Postcard from GDC 2005: Casual Games Summit: Web & Downloadable Panel
The all-day Casual Games Summit at Game Developers Conference 2005 addressed the issue of simple, deceptively time-consuming games that are becoming a larger and larger part of the industry.
As Steve Meretzky, an IGDA board member and principal game designer at WorldWinner, pointed out in his introduction to the summit, the market for casual games is expected to quintuple by the year 2009, and will likely hit $1 billion by 2007.
Giving a brief history of downloadable games, Welch noted that: "Four years ago, the only entertainment product you could purchase online with a credit card was pornography." Downloadable games began to appear in 2001, and got bigger in the years ahead as the web ad market collapsed and other, ad-based game revenue models faltered.

 GameDev.net - Serious Games Summit 2004 Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Serious Games Summit at GDC last year had been well attended and I know for a fact that a number of game developers benefited and landed contracts.
The development cycle is short, or at least shorter, for serious games, so it seemed reasonable that some of those developers would be there to present their findings to the community.
Serious Games is such a tag word that even a low-end food-matching game is a "game." You can see why the game industry has traditionally looked down upon and distanced itself from edutainment.

 Games Conference Panel Questions
The current generation of children and teens has been identified as "generation.com" or "The N Generation" because they are the first generation to be able to take for granted the presence in the home of computers or game consoles and because so much of their life is spent involved with the net and the web.
The base market for games, until fairly recently, was thought to be young technogically literate males.
The next generation of game consoles promises a dramatic increase in the availability of processing power.

THQ vp business development Dan Kelly showed off scenes from the "Finding Nemo" game, the result of a three-picture licensing deal that THQ struck with Pixar/Walt Disney Co. "The slight twist is the game will be released before the movie," Kelly said.
Sometimes license negotiations begin three years in advance of a movie's release, and every effort is made to release the game day-and-date with the movie, or even a few weeks earlier, in order to piggyback on the movie's marketing effort, Heinecke said.

 IGN: The Game Comes First, The Music Second
Schnur, whose background is that of a label exec, explained how it used to be that the gaming companies were sent stacks of CDs and that they would select a person internally to just rifle through the pile and pick a song at random to license for a game.
There is an element of discovery that needs to happen in music and games and that probably is going to open doors for a lot of new artists, because as a gamer opens up a package and begins to play the game, they want to hear new music from new bands.
While the major thrust of this panel was about how to market bands via videogames and their soundtracks, the one thread that kept cropping up from all four of the panelists was that the game came first.

The 'citizen's jury' is one form of health panel researched by Diana - a method used by the Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster Health Authority last autumn to tackle mental health issues in the area.
Two groups of twelve people from different localities met three times in one year then came to the decision that it was better to put money into diagnostic services, such as a MRI scanner, rather than giving patients a wider choice of where to be treated.
She might have wanted a birth pool and not been able to use one at the local hospital," said Diana, pointing out that personal biases were inevitable.

 Video games get 'art' status in the US - Printer friendly - ZDNet UK News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A federal appeals court panel has struck down a law that restricted children's access to violent video games, giving the software the same free-speech protection as that for works of art.
A panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday that a Missouri ordinance that bans the rentals or sales of graphically violent video games to minors violates free-speech rights.
In Tuesday's ruling, the panel decided that if the paintings of Jackson Pollock, the music of Arnold Schoenberg and the Jabberwocky verse of Lewis Carroll are protected by the First Amendment, then video games should be, too.

The panel also proposed getting rid of softball, another game the United States excels at, while adding golf and rugby for the 2008 Beijing Games.
Golf, which was in the Olympics in 1900 and 1904, was proposed for inclusion in the Atlanta Games but was blocked because of controversy over the membership policy of the Augusta National club, which has no women members.
If the panel's changes are adopted, there would be 27 sports if baseball, softball and modern pentathlon were dropped, and rugby and golf were added.

A panel of gaming leaders looks at why "story" seems to be a four-letter word in gaming.
Skillfully orchestrating the panel was Andrew Stern of InteractiveStory.net, who took a very vague topic and framed it in such a way that really cut to the heart of the matter.
For example, a lot of games have a solitary hero who saves the world, but few titles look at the relationships between individuals.
