Walking a virtual mile in someone's shoes
It's the latest addition to the immigration wars raging in this country: an award-winning computer game designed to let players walk in the shoes of five young immigrants -- including taking a hike right out of the country.
Players maneuver through the often tricky terrain of immigration law. Report domestic violence to police, and you risk arrest if you're here illegally. Shoplift a loaf of bread and you might end up in immigration court. Join the military without proper legal status and you can be all that you can be -- back in your home country.
Called "ICED!",[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], a bit of wordplay on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the nation's top immigration agency, it's among the growing genre of online computer games that focuses on serious social issues.
"People are really ready for new kinds of games," said Mallika Dutt,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], executive director of the New York-based human rights organization Breakthrough, which oversaw creation of "ICED!"What we're trying to do is create a whole new genre of video games,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], games about real-world issues with real-world impact."
Free and downloadable
About 100 games with social themes have hit the Internet in recent years,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], said Suzanne Seggerman,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], president of the New York-based Games for Change,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], which supports developers of socially conscious games. They are typically free and downloadable.
"Darfur Is Dying,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url]," about hunger in Sudan, is one of the most popular, with more than 2 million visitors,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], Seggerman said. Others include "Ayiti: The Cost of Life," which allows the player to be an impoverished person in Haiti; "Food Force," which lets players become humanitarian workers on a famine-stricken island,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], and "Peacemaker," in which players may be the Israeli prime minister or the Palestinian president.
The creators of these titles aren't your classic game designers. "ICED!" and "Ayiti" were conceived by high school students participating in an after-school project run by Global Kids of New York,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], a nonprofit education organization. "Food Force" was created by the United Nations World Food Program.
"ICED!" generated buzz in the blogosphere and national media after winning a Games For Change award this summer. Advocates say the game,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], and others like it,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], are excellent tools to reach young audiences. citizen.
As they roam around a large city,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], visiting a grocery store or riding the subway,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], they face choices. Make the right choice and you get points. Make the wrong choice and an immigration agents pops up on the screen. border. The game's objective: "to keep them out at any cost."
Officials at ICE say they haven't seen it. But they say such computer entertainment shouldn't be confused with reality. "This is a video game, and most people realize that video games are a work of fiction,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url]," said Tim Counts,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], a spokesman for ICE's Bloomington office.
But for immigrant rights groups,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], "ICED!" could be a useful new tool to catch the attention of their technology-savvy audience.
"I think it's really good idea," said Alondra Espejel,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], spokeswoman for the Minnesota Immigrant Freedom Network,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], which frequently works with high school and college students.
The activist-game trend got a boost in June,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗大阪[/b][/url], when Microsoft and Games for Change announced a joint commitment to explore new ways to unite the worlds of digital gaming and social change.
