More on Political Message Video Games 31
elhaf writes "There is an article running in the Chronicle on Higher Education about the new trend of creating political-message video games for the next round of campaigns. TechNews has commentary on the situation as well. The article mentions that there are actually a few available already, but they mainly just allow opposition-bashing. This is not, I think, to be confused with Serious games, even though both groups seem interested in health care policy."

what's with all the black-painting, both ways? or are the candidates not able to focus on why they should be chosen instead of focusing on why the other side is just 'plain evil'? (especially when in the end both of the parties are run by corporate intrests... ) the mia "we refuse to let go" and the vet "we're honorable!!" don't really give good reasons even for why kerry is 'bad' beyond "plain evil and unamerican!", all displaying a very narrow field of view.
and uh, wtf did the video have to do with discussing POLITICAL agendas in games? that would be like for example if in civilization you could choose which party was in power and lets say, if the 'other' party was in power, then the budget deficit would kick up. though maybe the discussion is really about POLITICAL AGENDAS in slashdot postings... like, posting a link to an anti-someone site because it's about politics!
never mind the coke...
