  <title><![CDATA[Bogost:  Let's make 'earnest' games, not 'serious games']]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.iac.gatech.edu/faculty-and-staff/faculty/bio/bogost">Ian Bogost</a>,&nbsp;</strong>professor in the&nbsp;<strong>School of Literature, Communication, and Culture</strong>, wrote an article for <em>Gamasutra: &nbsp;The Art and Business of Making Games</em> in June. &nbsp;He explains that&nbsp;"It's actually a little weird to talk about using games for social change or seriousness in the abstract, [but]&nbsp;I think we want something like 'earnest games,' games that really mean it, games that aspire to do justice to their topic and to the medium of games themselves."</p>]]></body>
