Serious Games Interactive brings you ‘Global Conflicts: Palestine’ – a serious game for PC and Mac. The game has already received extensive world wide coverage with features on CNN and BBC as highlights. The game challenges the stereotypical view of video games as violent and anti-social and shows how games can contribute to a new learning experience. ‘Global Conflicts: Palestine’ does what other media fail to do: put you inside the conflict and interact with both sides. The game makes you experience - rather than watch and read about - one of the longest lasting and most influential conflicts of our time; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Global Conflicts: Palestine
In ‘Global Conflicts: Palestine’, you assume the role of a freelance journalist who has just arrived in Jerusalem armed with a pen, a notepad and your sharp wits to get you through the challenges ahead. The goal is to create and get an article published for a newspaper by collecting quotes from the dialog in the game. The player can either get information by building up trust with each side or take a more confrontational approach to dig out information. In the end, the story with the most news-value will get the best exposure, but be careful what you print, it will affect your standings with both sides. No matter the approach or the chosen alignment, during the course of the game your beliefs and ideas about the conflict will be challenged. You will experience situations - taken from real life events - that are more complicated than outsiders may realize.

‘Global Conflicts: Palestine’ is a different type of game that requires a different way of thinking and playing. Through a simple interface and an approachable game world every one can play – you don’t have to be a gamer to enjoy playing ‘Global Conflicts: Palestine’. We believe that computer games can be engaging and enlightening on an endless number of current issues.’  Says CEO Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen
