Presidential Gaming - A Political Machine?

Thanks to Blue's News for pointing to a Stardock press release discussing the announcement of a new PC strategy game based on running a U.S. Presidential campaign. An official site for The Political Machine has already been launched, with info on the game "in which you are the campaign manager for a candidate for President of the United States. Choose a political party, put together the dream presidential ticket and go for it." The title, from the developers of the niche favorite Galactic Civilizations, will debut via public Beta on the Steam-like Drengin gaming network on April 8th, and is due in stores this June.

Fun old DOS game, it's over on The Underdogs. What's extremely fun is making both major candidates utter incompetents without a shred of charisma (compared to the guys I'd make, Al Gore was a suave sophisticate) and making myself a godlike 3rd party candidate. And still, well, losing.
