After years of playing the same kinds of videogames in shinier packages some people finally tried something different and put together a surprisingly good dramatic videogame where you visit a couple and talk with them until someone leaves the home. I've played it about 10 times now and everytime it has been different depending on what I did. It is very interesting and you can even view the screenplay of your drama after you are done. It's freeware and I thought I'd share. Here is the article on it in the Escapist (a nice online videogame magazine) and the link to a place where you can download it. Hopefully bigger name companies will realize there is potential for new genres of games.

Also, the magazine "The Escapist" is worth looking at too. Very good looking online magazine with interesting articles even if they do sometimes have a hint of elitism.
