[url=][/url][url=][/url]Occasionally I have stumbled on a game which clearly designed to draw attention to an issue or to provoke discussion.
Some are good games as the activist aspect is subtle like Balance of Planet or Hidden Agenda

Others are less games and more like interactive advertisements and the activist aspect is more heavy handed like SPENT

What are your thoughts about Activism in Gaming? Do you think it is a good thing we should see more of? Or do you think that developers should stick to entertainment and stay off the soap box?
Also if you know of any good activist games, what are they?
