VVVVVV is a pretty amazing game built on the simple ability to flip gravity at will. It was well worth the $5 I paid on Steam.
(I’m pretty sure I found this through Adam, but now I can’t find where)
Update 5/2012 - A great spin-off of this game is MMMMMM, introducing crazy diagonal jumping.

Jesse Schell - DICE 2010: “Design Outside the Box”
A talk about the future of reality gaming.
I particularly liked one example - Lee Shellman of the University of Indiana is grading his class differently: students get experience points by how well they do at assignments, they level up through the class, and their final level determines their grade. I had this idea last week and am really excited to see it happening - if I ever decide to teach a course somewhere, I will definitely use it.

"This course will go in-depth in the theory of how war is conducted within the confines of the game Starcraft. There will be lecture on various aspects of the game, from the viewpoint of pure theory to the more computational aspects of how exactly battles are conducted. Calculus and Differential Equations are highly recommended for full understanding of the course."
