Political Games for Election Day November 7, 2006 - by Ian Bogost We've probably been remiss in not pointing readers to Jay Bibby's excellent site on casual games, CasualGameplay (aka JayIsGames). In observance of Election Day here in the States, the crew over there has been reviewing political games, for the first time I think. Among those reviewed are Newsgaming.com's September 12th, Persuasive Games' Oil God and Airport Security, and the Global Kids/Unicef/gameLab game Cost of Life. I've weighed in in some of the comments over there, and I invite our readers to do so too. P.S. - Americans go vote! Comment from Mike on November 7, 2006
Stressed out on Election day? Check out this fun site that lets you cutomize your own election button onscreen. The possibilites are endless and equally hilarious. The link is: http://www.imagechef.com/ic/make.jsp?tid=Election+Campaign+Button or type, ‘Election Button’ into Google and hit ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ POST A COMMENT
