Global Warming Video Games

We're not sure why this would make you care more about climate change, but it could make for a very interesting video game if done correctly. College students in 100 countries have been asked to come up with a video game based on Global Warming by the "Xbox 360 Games for Change Challenge". According to the show, Living on Earth, the winner will receive a 25,000 dollar college scholarship with the chance that their winning game gets to go up against all the other Microsoft Xbox Live games. The competition is hoping to reach 100,000 students.
