New Video Game Benefits Cancer Research
Some people play video games for fun, some play for pride and some play to fight cancer. The game is called Operation: Sleeper Cell and its proceeds benefit Cancer Research UK. In the game, players have to solve ‘puzzle cells’ and by donating money you unlock extra cells. The game takes place over websites, blogs and Twitter. Since the games launched over $2,000 has been raised. Everyone who worked on the game is an unpaid volunteer. The game is free to play.
Would you donate money to reach more levels in a video game?
