Blog # 1

I found two games online that are examples of persuasive video games. A game called "Go Michael Go!" is played by you (Michael) trying to cover up pedophile evidence before the cops find out. It could be classified as persuasive because it has a clear statement about an issue and the game is played through that point of view.
A game called "Clubby the Seal" is played as a seal on "a mission of violent revenge!" clubbing seal clubbers and then collecting their "hides" and selling them on the black market. It has a clear opinion about the clubbing of seals and the game works to persuade the player to the same viewpoint, just as in, "GO Michael Go!"
