In These Games, the Points Are All Political

guest link.

Es obvio que los juegos en línea también pueden ser utilizados como parte de campaña política. Este articulo del New York Times (se tienen que registrar) explica este sub mundo político.




BY day, Jeremy Kenney, 33, fixes Web sites and databases for the Republican National Committee. By night, on weekends and in his spare time he dabbles in an emerging form of political marketing: the online game.

Part advertisement, part journalism, part cartoon, such games put fun in the service of ideology - with varying sophistication.



One of Mr. Kenney's efforts, Democratic Debate Bingo, is little more than an interactive cartoon. A more engaging game is John Kerry: Tax Invaders: the player controls President Bush's head, which fires laser bolts at descending phalanxes of numbers. After fending off three waves of numbers, meant to represent prospective tax increases, the player is rewarded with the message, "You've saved the country from John Kerry's tax plans!"

mi favorito?

In Bushgame (emogame.com /bushgame.html), the story line involves Hulk Hogan's recruiting Mr. T and He-Man to battle the Bush administration, which has been taken over by the robotic Voltron. "I want people who severely like Bush to know better the arguments against him," Mr. Oda said. His game mixes gruesome humor and a grab bag of pop-culture references with a detailed (if pedantic) presentation on tax issues and budget policy.

digo esta Mr. T... I pity the fool!!
