What's New


	Games for Change is happy to be the primary games partner for this fantastic launch. We will be showcasing social-issue games in a few months. Our annual festival in its fourth year was held in June 2007, and we announced 3 major Games for Change "GaCha" Awards: Best Transformation Game to Peacemaker, about the Middle East; Best Awareness-Raising Game to Ayiti: the Cost of Life about poverty in Haiti; and Best Social Commentary/ Art Game to Airport Security about civil rights. Darfur Is Dying, about the conflict in Sudan, from mtvU was the audience-award winner.
