I found this really interesting computer game published by the UN's World Food Programme (WFP) in which you distribute food to third world countries to help them become self-sufficient. It's downloadable for free and there are competitions in which if you score really high you can win prizes. I think it's a really good educational tool and seems to be marketed to children and teens for them to learn more about what the UN is doing to help world hunger and the realities of the situation around the world.

We would have to play the game to really evaluate it. I wonder whether all the complexities of these situations are covered. Or, like America's Army is it more of a PR tool for the UN?
