Americas army

This game would be classified as an serious or educational game. It fits into this category first because it is an actual thing in real life but also because it is a training game and gives information about the actual army.

Presidential Pong

I think this game would be considered a persuasive game because its main motive is to get you to think about the election and to persuade you to get out and vote. For each candidate it says something about their campaign issues and if you win it says in terms of those issues why you won.
