The Nobel Prize for games
No, the prestigious international organization named for the inventor of dynamite isn't giving a prize for gaming along with its other prizes this week, but the Nobel Foundation is using some interesting educational games to explain the concepts behinds the winning science experiments, books and, er, concepts of peace.
The games aren't going to make you reconsider buying a next generation console or anything, but they are a bit more interesting than the usual crap that passes itself off as edu-gaming. This simple platforming game used to explain laser physics is particularly notable for including actual hidden items and interesting mini-games with its dry trivia questions about lasers.
This is all well and good, but when will we finally see a peace prize awarded to the person who finally brought down international criminal Carmen Sandiego?
