An interesting concept I had not encountered before (as least labelled as such): Newsgames. Games that are "an application of journalism in videogame form", games that "simulate how things work by constructing interactive models. Newsgames can persuade, inform, and titillate; make information interactive; recreate a historical event; put news content into a puzzle; teach journalism; and build a community."
