Here is our list of games most-played in the archive over the course of the semester. Our soccer games were the clear winners, with a few old favorites making the list as well. FIFA 14 had over twice as many checkouts as anything else on the list.

Here is our list of most popular games played in the archive during March. Trigger Happy Havoc quickly rose in the ranks, and a variety of Nintendo games made a satisfying appearance as the semester continues. FIFA was so popular that we started getting requests for FIFA 13 and 12 again, also reflected in the list.

We'd like to pass along an upcoming opportunity for those who are interested in educational games and game design on campus: Game Design Jam!
