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.
I won when I played the Kerry swift boat game. I had a hard time telling people I won because these guys, Video Game Players for Truth, who weren't there when I was playing the game came along and told everyone I never played the game.
