Ben Sawyer, co-founder of the Serious Games Initiative, had a lot of great stuff to say about the Games for Health event. It turns out that the event has been getting bigger and bigger since Nintendo really kicked the ‘healthy games’ initiative into action. This past show, EA Sports Active’s session seemed to cause quite a buzz.

The event’s EA Sports Active keynote was “extremely well attended and really well received,” says Sawyer — for example, attendees with less experience in the field of game development were surprised to learn that Electronic Arts built 140 prototypes before settling on the couple-dozen games that are within EA Sports Active.
