Rails - Dec 2006 - Class reference from parsing a string?

Say I have a model class called Game. I also have a string call
''game''.
How can I do some parsing magic on the string to have a reference to
the model Game. So I can perform class methods. (Game.find(1))

thanks

Vary dangerous, you need to be sure what is inside this string.
it''s like the notorious Eval.
