Following my recent post Visit the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge Booth, the Serious Game Showcase & Challenge (SGS&C) will announce today its 2012 winners.
The 2012 finalists were reviewed by an
esteemed panel of evaluators to determine the winners in the Business,
Government, and Student categories.
Six of the 18 finalists are also competing for the Best Mobile Game Award, while six finalists are competing for the Adaptive Force Award (this year’s Special Emphasis Award). Adaptive Force games encourage the player to repeatedly try new or different strategies to solve problems while considering feedback with the purpose of improving overall success.
