United Nations Video Game Targets Hunger

The United Nations has jumped into the video game world with a PC-based education game (supposedly Mac as well) from the World Food Program called Food Force. Game play involves negotiating with armed rebels and coordinating food drops to starving refugees. The goal is to teach video games fanatics about world hunger.

"The game itself is somewhere between a game like Tomb Raider and a lecture from the WFP," explained the game's designer, Mike Harrison. (BBC)

It's probably no match for Halo, but did I mention it's free?
