I'm sure I've talked about this before, but today is home to two news items:

The opening of the Social Impact Games site, cataloguing a list of games that were created for a purpose alterior to fun. An example is SimHealth, which attempted to simulate the affects of enacting different healthcare systems/policies.
The opening of Gonzalo Frasca's Newsgaming project ("political cartoons" of games), and its first game, September 12th.
