For this assignment I plan to research into the potential of games to be a persuasive medium beyond mere entertainment. I will be answering the question: "Can digital games change the world"? Although this question has no true answer I will be researching and answering on a personal level.
I personally feel that games with the most potential to change the way we live and think will be the interactive side for an example hardware and software such as Xbox 360 Kinect and Playstation Move. Games such as Zumba have clearly shown that a game can appeal to people not just for the entertainment but for another reason such as fitness or education.
However some games could also be successful without Xbox 360 Kinect or Playstation Move. Brain Training games have managed to achieve this and I personally think strategy games and historical games can be more than just entertainment. The reason I think this is that strategy helps to expand your mind by getting you to think ahead and make plans also you are learning history through game play.
