Interesting article from BBC News about a PC game released this year called, Republic: The Revolution, based in part on the book, Crowds and Power, by Nobel Laureate Elias Canetti.
The game combines elements of real-time strategy and simulation which adds another level of believability for the player and basically creates a new genre, according to the game designer.
"...the sociological model in the game is as realistic as has been achieved so far".
"The game producer (Elixir) is talking to academics about how the artificial intelligence behind the game could be used for research purposes."
The game's fictitious country of Novistrana even has a website that extends the reality of the game to the internet.
