Serious Games... Seriously?

As I decease on reading together with learning to a greater extent than nearly games, there's ane categorical phrase I encounter repeatedly that ever stops me inwards my tracks: Serious Games.

Every fourth dimension I encounter it I convey to wonder, "What is a serious game?" To me, the concept of a GAME ever implies (or at to the lowest degree makes an campaign at, though to a greater extent than or less neglect miserably) a connectedness to... FUN! Despite my express research, I've learned that the phrase describes the type of games intended for simulators together with educational purposes. In other words, a flying similator used yesteryear the Air Force to develop novel pilots powerfulness live on considered a fellow member of this category.

Perhaps I'm making also big a bargain over terminology, but I hollo upwards educational programs of this type should exactly live on called "simulators." But together with then individual powerfulness fence that they enjoyed the simulator, together with thus to them it is a game! :) Nonetheless, the phrase exactly ever hits me every bit an oxymoron.

Have you lot played whatever serious games lately? Would you lot rank they were fun?
