    Persuasive Games Takes on Farming

    Ian Bogost writes that his studio, Persuasive Games, just released their latest newsgame, Bacteria Salad.

    In Bacteria Salad you have to harvest mass amounts of cheap produce and sell it for as much profit as possible. As you run your agribusiness you have to look out for floods, animal waste and agroterrorists. Ian says they game, which is published by Addicting Games and Shockwave.com, does have some strategy built into it around the question of which is safer, small family farms or big industrial ones. Oh and there's tons of shit, so now you have to go play it.
