NASA has just released [a new game](http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Mars-Rover-Landing/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258480836?ref=killscreen.com) for the Xbox 360 that lets you simulate a landing on the Martian surface—the same landing that the Mars Rover ‘Curiosity’ will be making early [next month](http://www.nasa.gov/mission%5Fpages/msl/index.html?ref=killscreen.com). It may seem strange to hear that NASA is in the videogame business, but it’s not all that surprising. In fact, it’s only one of many educational [games](http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/menu/play/?ref=killscreen.com) and [simulations](http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/3d%5Fresources/index.html?ref=killscreen.com) that the space agency has brought to the public in recent years. *Mars Rover Landing* will likely make a larger impact given its deployment on the Xbox and added Kinect support.
