Are you a hardcore gamer with a conscience? Would you like to game with a purpose? Then the World Without Oil alternate reality game may be just the thing for you. This game allows users to imagine and explore what our world could look like if it really ran out of oil… this is an opportunity to help map out possibilities and who know? Maybe you can even help with the solution to an all too plausible problem. Image: Designed by Alex Neckels of Art Space Project.  Gone are the days when computer games involved little more than mowing away descending hordes of pixellated aliens. Now people are beginning to see the potential of games as ways of teaching and learning, not just individually but in groups and, theoretically, as a planet. Hence World Without Oil, an alternate reality game that runs for the next month, with players attempting to imagine plausible solutions to the not-entirely-hypothetical scenario of the world running out of oil yesterday, 30 April 2007. It's still early days for this sort of project, but I think we can expect to see a lot more of them as time goes by.

| Seems a cool idea to depict such a scenario before it happens. |
