An upcoming edu-doc game: Snapshot from Imaginary Productions Inc., uses the role of photojournalist to create a game promoting active citizenship and social responsibility. One of the interesting aspects of photography it plays upon is the need to "set yourself up," in a sense, with the target subject in order to better position yourself to fulfil your role as documentarian. However, the game may be limited by its Content-based approach, given the potential for Technique-based games for critical engagement with media representation. Hopefully, this one makes it past the demo stage-- would love to be at the Serious Games Summit to hear more about it.
