Re-MissionShooting the Enemy, One Cell at a Time | Submitted by RedEl on Wed, 01/02/2008 - 15:13. |
We’re not talking terrorism, but cancer. Can playing a game provide a cure? Maybe not, but Hope Lab developed Re-Mission in an effort to improve the quality of life for teenage and young adult cancer patients, and they have the clinical data to prove the game works.
What Linus Bruckman Sees When His Eyes Are Closed was released in 2006, before we launched -- but if you missed it at the time, it's eminently worth playing.
Linus Bruckman is two games that you play at the same time -- sort of. The upper game is Kami, and is the story of a Japanese goddess seeking her freedom from imprisonment. The lower game is DocMcVonSpaceburgers, in which you play a goofy little alien guy trying to run a burger franchise and get his Dad out of debt (he lost everything playing poker online).
