You Run the Smear Campaign
Zordak writes "I came across this amusing story on CNN about a new PC game published by UbiSoft that's hitting store shelves this week called 'Political Machine.' It's a strategy game in which you run a presidential campaign through speeches, ads, campaign stops, and good old-fashioned mud slinging. You can choose to be one of the current candidates, one of several contemporary political figures (like Hillary Clinton or Condoleeza Rice) or you can make your own candidate. The game attempts to be extremely realistic, including using statistical data from the various states."
What, you think there's a purpose behind Slashdot stories? *gasp*
Money for nothing, pix for free
And it appears I'm the first poster to actually have played the game. Well, here goes, any questions about it ask me...
Overall, it's a fun game to play a few times, but it gets old with astonishing speed.
It'll be his secret weapon in the campaign. He's not gonna put down the controller until he figures out how to beat the end guy.
This game should be easy, just build your candidate around honesty and fairness and the political machine will bow down to you, right? ...right?
