CO2FX: global warming game

CO2FX is what they in the industry call a "serious" game; it intends to educate first, play second. The lines are fortunately blurring! We're a long way from the tedium of Speak'n'Spell and now the educational element is increasingly sneaky. CO2FX hooks the global warming issue to economic, political and scientific decisions that you, as a player, shape. Aimed at high school users, it also wants to be addictive enough to make sure the message gets across. A spoonful of high tech sugar, as it were. The game is in early development stages still, so you personally would be doing them a great service by stopping by and playing. You know, for science. [GT]
