yuppiesEven though corpos and top honchos in companies occupy the top rung of the social ladder, as gamers/players, they're placed pretty low on the ladders of gaming circles.

Now, all that's about to change as TrainingPort Strategies, a newly founded company, aims to bring video gaming and develop simulation games for the corporate market. In collaboration with BreakAway firm, the two companies aim to provide corporate training through games.

Joe Biglin, founder of TrainingPort Strategies, says that by making corporate training as easy as just playing video games, they'll be able "to help corporations improve employee skills and capabilities through the use of engaging educational experiences."

These "corpo video games" will range from board games to "fully customized, highly visual fidelity simulations."

Biglin says that using video game technology to train people for specific skills is becoming more and more popular, and with yuppies that are tech-savvy (what with their PDA's and cellphones, etc.), incorporating this new technology into the corporate setting will be a surefire hit.

Funny thing though, can you imagine your bosses and your CEO's getting all psyched and Wiimote-crazeee with Cooking Mama? Hahaha.
