Thesis

I. Intro
Brief description of both games
Explanation of the major issues raised by each
How the games' biases impact its credibility

II. Game one: Fatworld
Choices that the game encourages you to make.
How the realism effects the persuasive aspect of the game.
Examples of how different choices impact outcome of game.
Bias of the particular point of each outcome in each situation.

III. Game two: Pictures for Truth
Setting of the game and object of it
Freedom of choice: but introduces flawed morality
Shows bias that the game wants you to support: freedom of the press in China

IV. Conclusion
How each game produces its bias and how each issue is presented differentlySo far here is my running thesis but it still needs a bit of work:

The educational aspects of both Fatworld and Pictures for Truth are far outweighed by the biases presented; that people should live healthy lives by following the example in the game and that the journalists in China should stand up to the restrictive government in order to publish what they want.

I like the imagery in the words "outweighted" with your game of Fatworld. I think that was clever to put in your thesis.
