Food Force 2 under production September 11, 2006 - by Gonzalo Frasca As you may know, Food Force is one of my favorite educational games -here's my previous coverage of the game. Well, details are sketchy at this point but word is out that there is another game about humanitarian aid currently being under production. It is aimed at an older audience than the original game and should not be necessarily seen as a sequel. Given the success of Food Force (they claim to have over 4 million players) it is not surprising that the WFP wants to keep working on this direction. I am really looking forward to playing this new game. Comment from deepankgupta on May 9, 2009
