Huh? Hilton Garden Inn made a training game for the PSP

Who says the education sector gets to have all the fun? Last year, Hilton Garden Inn of the Hilton Hotels Corporation developed an internal training game called Ultimate Team Play. The player is placed in various positions at a hotel such as front desk, housekeeping, maintenance or food service. A "unique scoring system" that is also utilized in real Hilton hotels to assess employees is present to keep track of your progress.

This game will obviously not be released commercially, but it has been revealed that a demo will be shown as part of a "30-minute Case Study" at Game Developers Conference 2009.

Her face looks so weird! One eye's looking right at us, and the other is down cast. It's either a bad case of lazy eye or complete retardation.

This is actually a really, really good idea. I'm genuinely surprised that more companies don't do things like this (or....I don't know...do real exercises at the real front desk?) and instead force employees through embarrassingly bad short films.

Of course, I imagine someone working for Hilton being told that the company has to cut wages because they had to buy all those PSPs....
