I began by playing the video game http://www.cityra.in/. Within the first 3 minuets it became obvious that this games purpose was more than just entertainment, but to teach players about importance and difficulty of urbanization. Every few minuets the game would proceed to tell me that I had put the homes to close to the land fill and that this area need a lot more parks than I was originally wanting to put in. This game fall into the category of Educational Games as it primary purpose is to teach with well as entertainment.

The second game I played was http://www.darfurisdying.com/. It became apparent as soon as I got to the wed sight that this was an activist web sight for ending the genocide in Darfur. Once I began to play the game this was confirmed as I was a small child running to get water for my family but having to hide all along the way from the militia. This games falls into the category of Persuasive Games, as it is encouraging its players to be come active in stopping the genocide.

Finally I played the game http://www.planetgreengame.com/. This game is clearly a Persuasive Games. It was the most boring game I played cause all it allowed u to to do was go to every day locations and learn how to reduce green house admission there for saving the planet in your everyday life.
