News » LA Times Article The Los Angeles Times have written an article about Serious Gaming which includes an interview Gobion game to them:Quote: "In Britain, the BBC recently hired a five-person development firm called Red Redemption to make the first-ever computer game about global warming. In Climate Challenge, you are the president of Europe and must choose policies that will zero out CO2 emissions by 2100 — without ruining the economy or turning the world against you. The game is now featured on the BBC's hugely popular website, and its makers say nearly half a million people have played it since its release in January. Determined to do the topic justice, Red Redemption brought in climate scientists from Oxford University and Germany's renowned Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The game uses real data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.N.'s anointed global warming team. Serious subject or no, Climate Challenge producer Gobion Rowlands insists that "if a game's not fun, it's not a game." A designer's worst nightmare is seeing a player get bored fast."
