Lecture Feb 5th

1. I learned there are quite a few serious games out there. Most are unknown, and I would guess it's due to players just wanting to have fun in them.

2. Various serious games were presented, including an electric shock in Tekken, Raid Gaza and America's Army.

3. I view art as a representation, often creating professionalism surrounding a game. The lecture provided a side of art I never really thought about, such as the Shoot an Iraqi "game". But I view a game as a place where someone can do what they want just to have fun.
