Hey, a note from Ian Bogost. What does he say? "My studio Persuasive Games has released Bacteria Salad, the latest game in the ongoing Arcade Wire series of newsgames, published by Addicting Games and Shockwave.com."

What's up there, then? "Harvest mass amounts of cheap produce and sell it for as much profit as possible. But watch out for floods, animal waste, and agroterrorists or your greens might turn, uh - brown — and your customers will suffer. Strategize over the question of which is safer, small family farms or big industrial ones. Is it possible to run large agribusiness safely? The game is completely scatological, so watch out."

Ew, that's kinda gross and a bit Fast Food Nation-like, or something. We've previously covered other newsgames like 'Oil God' from Bogost, who (disclaimer!), also writes columns for one of the sites I help run, Serious Games Source.
