After posting on fighting cancer with video games, I’ve decided to collect some of the best medical games on the Internet. I hope there are plenty of games for educational purpose, just contact me and I’ll add yours to this little list.

I start with my favourite, the Immune Attack game which is an educational video game funded by the National Science Foundation and other scientists. Unfortunately, it’s not yet available for download, but you can add your name to the e-mail list and they’ll contact you soon.

Then here is a not so active Health games blog:

The Serious Games Initiative founded Games for Health to develop a community and best practices platform for the numerous games being built for health care applications.

It’s never too early to start playing with medical games. Kids, take a look at the Body scavanger and the Mission Nutrition.

Forget about Counter Strike and Quake, shoot those dirty microbes and cancer cells!

Man, that is definitely interesting… I’m actually studying Biomedical Visualization in grad school and hope to get into this sort of thing within the next few years. Do you have any other information regarding this field?
