'BusinessWeek': Now With Cartoon Velociraptors
If you thought those Forbes.com stories about "America's Most Sinful Cities" and "Top Drugs' Strange Side Effects" were potent linkbait, just wait till you see BusinessWeek's latest online offering.
The BusinessWeek Arcade is "a compilation of 20 free, independently developed Web-based games which reflect the best in indie game design."
"Even as the games industry enjoys enormous, continued commercial success, it remains misunderstood," explains Helen Walters, BW's innovation and design channel editor. "We report from the cutting edge where designers, influenced by a wide range of new technologies from the social Web to motion-sensing, are altering the gaming industry's contours, bending and breaking old rules, and transforming a once-solitary activity into a model of rich, social interaction."
You might want to memorize that spiel for the next time your boss catches you playing "Off-Road Velociraptor Safari" at your desk.
