Everything old is new again. In a recent "Point of View" editorial commentary in "Educational Technology," Richard E. Clark revisits the now-famous media-effects debate with a focus on serious games.

While Clark's article makes some important points, the authors believe that Clark has based his conclusions on a somewhat one-sided subset of resources, resulting in some possible misunderstandings and invalid assumptions.
