Microsoft Creates Serious Games Challenge
polycounter lvl 18
Microsoft has announced that they are making a contest in which student game devs are to create games based around issues dealing with Global Warming. Basically, student game makers use XNA to make games about this huge issue, then the top 3 get all their schooling paid for and the winners get an internship with MS Game Studios.
It's awesome to see one of the three big companies taking something like this on. It not only reflects good on the entirety of the gaming community, but is promoting serious games.

I'd *highly* suggest that any of the students on the boards seriously consider this. I wish they'd announced it a year earlier so I could've taken part in it.
So yea... GO Microsoft!
