I Brought Peace to the Middle East

Posted by Robert Janelle Mar 27, 2007

Bringing peace to Palestine and Israel is way hard. But I did it and scored myself a Nobel Peace Prize!

Well, not quite.

Last summer, I wrote about a game in development called PeaceMaker, that challenges players to find a solution to the violence in the middle-east.

Well, it has since been released on the official website for $20.

It took me about two straight days of regular playing as Israel to create the games "conditions for peace."

I've been interested in the game since I first heard of it, though mainly from the social impact perspective. Having now played it, I've learned that not only does it raise of lot of interesting ideas, it's also rather addictive.

Now to embark on a fresh challenge, experiencing the conflict from the other side by playing as Palestine.

A full review of the game will be posted on this site Thursday. Stay tuned!
