DC Smackdown December 8, 2007 - by Ian Bogost
Even though I too have created games with this theme, I'm always a little disappointed to see yet another political game that's just a cute nod to the idea of politics rather than taking on political issues or personalities directly. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the game is the scale of it. It's still a small game, but it's a full downloadable PC game of high production value, high enough that the creators can justify selling it for $4.99 rather than giving it away as a web game or free downloadable. For that reason alone DC Smackdown is an interesting specimen. I'm not sure if we'll ever find out how well it sells, but I think five buck games have a lot of promise.
