Serious Game: just a question of posture? (Broacasting our studies)
This article explains the difference between a large variety of Serious Games and tries to propose a classification to understand this type of video games. We explore the connection between the goal of the game designer, the objective of the game and the posture of the player. Finally, we explore how we can create some serious game to make corporate communication or educative program.Keywords : serious game
