Game for Good: Making Charity Work Fun


Last weekend saw the first ever Game For Good, charity event. Game For Good was in aid of the charity War Child, that helps children in wartorn countrys such as Iraq, whether they are orphaned by fighting, or if they have been forced into being soldiers themselves.

Activision and Game set the challenge that if 1,000,000 (1 million) gamers played CoD: Modern Warefar 2, they would donate £250,000 to War Child.

Game For Good saw 1,019,088 (19,088 over the target) players shooting it out on XBox Live totting up a total of 3,279,439 gaming hours, thats 365.3 years! With an average play time of around 80 min.

I myself put up about 2 hours. Got killed 85 times and got 23 kills. Yes, I suck.

Anyway, big thanks from Activision, Game and Warchild for your time.
