At this year's (2011) NECC, a new "Serious Games" portal was announced at BrainPOP (www.brainpop.com/games). There, you can download free versions of grant-funded games, like Sandra Day O'Conner's iCivics, GameStar Mechanic, or other titles from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, NobelPrize.org, Filament Games, the Michigan State University Gel Lab, Boston Children's Hospital Generation Cures, Scot Osterweil's Learning Games Network, the Space Science Institute's SciGames, and more. You certainly can't bicker about the price (free), and there's a side bar that provides news on new games.
