Political Games for the Campaign Trail
On the heels of the first debate, many thanks to the anonymous reader who alerted us to these political games. CNet has an article up about a Vietnam game where you can ride with Kerry on the swift boat. Another more well known game covers the actual presidential race this year. Called "The Political Machine", it allows you to manage political campaigns on the road to office. For silliness, you can't beat Bush vs. Kerry Boxing.
The best political video game ever is still the anti-bush game.
The GeekNights podcast is going strong. Listen!
That game sucks, not only for its propaganda-style "informing" but also as a game by itself. If that's the best political games have to offer I'm glad I never played the rest.
Justice is the sheep getting arrested while an impartial judge declares the vote void.
Try President Forever (you can also get Primeminister Forever). It's a cheaper than the political machine, and is more focused on the strategy involved.
