[games_access] fwd: touch screen games

Forwarding from Lynn to the Women in Game Dev list, as I think a few 
might have some ideas here too.

Indeed...America's Army game...I wish they'd involved more 
psychologists to help prep for the possibility of PTSD while they 
recruited soldiers. I can't even begin to imagine the psychological 
toll on some. Part of me wonders if games might not further 
traumatize but with the proper psych help it could be used as a 
desensitization tool. I just wish we lived in a world where such 
trauma didn't have to exist...
