Telltale's The Walking Dead series is famous for putting the player in life-or-death ethical quandaries and forcing them to make difficult decisions. A creative teacher could probably use the game to identify moral dilemmas and explore those dilemmas with a class. As it so happens, one ethics teacher is doing just that.
Xbox Live has one of the standards set forth by Microsoft in how multiplayer and matchmaking games are played. One of the reasons why this was so revelatory is due to it’s Voice Over IP integration allowing friends and teammates to talk and coordinate with one another across the internet. Netflix took this feature even farther by allowing users to talk to each other watching the same movie across the nation or the world. Sadly, this feature was discontinued in recent versions of this app.
PORTER ROBINSON
Porter Robinson is an electronic musician. He has cited video games and Japanese culture as major inspirations to his work.
Robinson has said in numerous interviews that the popular dance music game "Dance Dance Revolution" inspired him to begin creating music and has mentioned that it was where he first heard electronic music. Video games like DDR and others have proven to be a huge influence on him.
The impact of video games on his work is noticeable in more than his music alone. Porter Robinson strongly implements game-related imagery in his live shows, music videos, and more.

SHOVEL KNIGHT
Shovel Knight is a video game by Yacht Club Games released in June 2014. The game makes use of callbacks to earlier 16-bit games, made apparent in its mechanics, visual, and audio stylings. Shovel Knight resembles an older title, a quality which is consistent throughout the game's production.

Specifically noteworthy is the soundtrack by composer Jake Kaufman. The use of the soundtrack's vintage sounds is something that I assume very few during the 16-bit era could have anticipated returning in a time with more advanced technological capabilities.
While most older titles from that era utilized these MIDI and stripped down sounds due to technical limitations, Shovel Knight chooses to use them. It does so not because of technical limitations- but as a conscious choice; both as a love-letter to an earlier time and a decision in the game's aesthetic.
While the title is being informed by retro games in every facet of its design, Shovel Knight is a prime example of a new title in a 16-bit revival.

Modding GTA to go Yakety: Interpretive Flexibility at it's finest!

GMOD has spawned numerous fan-made game modes, such as Prop Hunt, GMOD Murder, and Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT). Both Prop Hunt and TTT are winners of the developer’s contest to create a new game mode. These games use a programming framework that allows developers to make new game modes for Garry's Mod with the commonly required functionality already implemented, so that the developers can instead focus on the unique aspects of their game modes. These games are often then interpreted even further by YouTube let’s-players, which use the game as a tool for creating channel content, stories, and more.
