Full of Goo

And by “goo” i mean “goo-dness!”
My program at NYU is the best--here we get to play video games and call it research! Tonight we had a game/pizza night so everyone (gamers and non-gamers alike) could try out the games that our department has recently acquired for the purpose of answering the question: “Can games be used for education?” We have all three consoles and a myriad of games. Probably the one i liked best is actually a small game that was created as part of a class at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center. If you go to their website at experimentalgameplay.com, you can see the rest of their interesting games. I must admit that i haven’t tried many of them, but this one was really fun to play!
The following was taken from their website and put here so you wouldn’t have to search so hard to find the game i was referring to, but please do check out their stuff. It’s cool.
