Peace Maker is video game simulation of the Israel-Palestinian conflict and it incorporates news footage of actual events designed to make players feel connected to the real world.
Serious game developers see a bright future for "PeaceMaker" and other games that apply computer modeling techniques to social, environmental or public health problems.
Last year, the U.N. World Food Program unveiled "Food Force," which challenges players to distribute food rations on a fictitious island. The free game was downloaded more than 1 million times in its first six weeks online, according to the agency.
The challenge for serious games developers is to determine what business model can be used to make their games and earn a decent living doing it.
