I read about this "game" via a link at reddit.com. Pretty interesting concept... Foldit is a protein-folding puzzle "game". I keep using quotes because while it is a game and you get points and have high-scores, the underlying mechanics of the application are all science, baby. More information can be found here: http://fold.it/portal/info/science

The end result is hopefully that players discover protein folding secrets that will help in finding the cure for HIV/AIDS, Cancer and Alzheimers. While brute-force number crunching via distributed clients is one approach, they have found that humans can visualize the attracting/repelling forces between amino acids better in some cases. Another goal is for them to find "natural folders"-- players who are just good at visualizing the correct folding of proteins.

I installed the Linux version of the game and I'm going to check it out over lunch today for a bit... I fired it up and did the very first tutorial, and the graphics are pretty sexxay. But, it's definitely a puzzle game. No FPS or RTS aspects here...
