Continuing our interest in Serious Games, we encouraged the creation of an interactive video game about the US federal budget deficit through Sloan and Lounsbery.  The game, Budget Hero is off to a great start in the blogosphere (for example, freakonomics]) and more than 40,000 people have completed a play.  Congratulations to Michael Skoler, Dave Rejeski, Ben Sawyer, and other Serious Gamers.
