Article about Blitz Games’ TruSim division, which makes serious games. (Blitz developed the Burger King Xbox games.) I’m highlighting this article because it mentions a medical triage game that I think is a decent example of a non-consumer serious game that could evolve into a successful consumer (M-rated) title, given the number of people who watch “serious” medical TV shows!
