Statistics from the SeriousGames mailing list

This popped up on the SeriousGames mailing list.

"With a few of my colleagues we have been working on a project to reference and classify as many serious games as possible. For now, we have a total of 2225 Serious Games. For those of you interested in some quantitative data on this large corpus (e.g. what topics are Serious Games dealing with), we created a small report available here:
http://serious.gameclassification.com/files/articles/sgc_report_03-11.pdf

Our long term research goal would be to reference *every* (or close to) serious game released on a online collaborative database, to create a site like "Mobygames" dedicated to Serious Games. So the 2225 Serious Games we analyzed for the report are available here:
http://serious.gameclassification.com/

As you may have noticed, 2225 is far from being *every* serious games released. So, if you find a serious game we are missing, please help us by referencing it on this collaborative website:
http://serious.gameclassification.com/EN/games/edit.html
(You don't need to create an account to add new serious games, only to edit available games)

This is our first report, so feel free to ask if you would like to see more statistics, or have any comment/suggestion.

Hoping you'll find this kind of report useful,

Best Regards,
Damien Djaouti."
