Serious games - games that seek to do more than entertain - are something I've been interested in since I met Ben Sawyer many years ago at a GDC and he introduced the concept to me. I've been too distracted by commercial and mainstream games to pay it the attention it deserves, but I agree with the philosophy of serious games - that the medium can be used to make the world a better place.

And now may be a time to jump in. Games for Health is sponsoring a contest for a variety of categories, all related to making an interactive experience that will further the cause of health and medical education.

Can Trauma Center be considered? :D.
