We pwn free games March 26, 2008 - by Ian Bogost PC World's new list of "101 Fantastic Freebies" is out in the forthcoming May 2008 print issue, also available online now. There's a category for games, and I'm happy to say that two of the nine on the list are Persuasive Games titles. One is our send-up of the TSA, Airport Security, and the other our satire of Kinko's, Disaffected. Woo! Comment from Reinhard on April 20, 2008
Dear Ian, On a rather unrelated note I will have to comment off topic - mainly because I was not sure where exactly to place this, still I thought advergames would probably be the most suitable section: As it appears, Wilkinson (http://www.ffk-wilkinson.com/de/) is advertising their latest product with a beat-em-up between father and baby (!), who are in the midst of a competition for the attention of their wife/mother (!!). Very oedipal! Looking forward to hearing your keynote speech in Berlin! Regards, Reinhard Prosch POST A COMMENT
