Ian Bogost, Georgia Tech professor, author and co-founder of Persuasive Games is scheduled to appear on the Colbert Report tonight. Bogost is the same man that challenged the industry to make a sensitive thoughtful game on the Virginia Tech Massacre.
Bogost will be discussing his new book, Persuasive Games: The Expressive Power of Video Games. Those of you interested in the book can read the first chapter available at The MIT Press. He’ll also talk about some of the serious games Persuasive has created. The company specializes in games about social and political issues.
The Colbert Report airs tonight on Comedy Central at 8:30 EST.
