This is off-topic, but I believe there are many CS educators here with
a special interest in games.

COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION
A journal published by Taylor & Francis

*** Special Issue on Games in Computer Science Education ***
*** Submission Deadline: November 1, 2012 ***
Guest Editor: Peter Drake
Computer science students play a lot of games. Indeed, many students
are first drawn to the field by their love of games. Educators seek to
harness this passion. Games make fantastic projects, bridging the gap
between contrived toy problems and difficult real-world problems. Some
propose that the learning process itself can usefully be cast as a
game. We solicit articles that describe original work on any aspect of
games in computer science education. Suitable topics include, but are
not limited to:
* Game projects in courses across the CS curriculum, at all levels of
education
* Comparison of game-based and non-game-based courses and projects
* “Gamification” of education: turning the class into a game
* Impact of game-based courses on recruitment and retention of majors
* Impact of game-based courses on women, minorities, and other
underrepresented groups
* Literature reviews on games in CS education
* Education for subjects specific to games, such as game AI
* Libraries, toolkits, and other software for building games in an
educational context
* Games designed to teach computer science beyond the classroom
