Video game on a ‘Re-Mission’ to help kids with cancer

August 4, 2008

Re-Mission follows the efforts of a microscopic “nanobot” — inspired by Lara Croft, the buxom heroine of Tomb Raider— as she tries to annihilate cancer cells. Players win by taking care of their health: swallowing oral chemotherapies; taking stool softeners to prevent bowel perforations; practicing good oral hygiene to prevent mouth sores. (USA Today)
