Excerpt: "Because The Political Machine 2012 has always been a game that accurately reflects the election season as a whole, and because Stardock is awesome, Stardock announced today they’ve added “Chik-Fil-Et” DLC (and more) to the first patch of the game. TPM 2012 now includes the fight over which chicken sandwich you should eat if you want to be president of the United States of America. "
Stardock Entertainment has released a new update for presidential election game The Political Machine 2012. Game owners can download the update on Steam now. This update adds new issues from the late stages of the real-world campaigns.
GameCritics - While I wouldn't say that I enjoy politics, I wouldn't hesitate to state I'm engaged in them. For the first few hours, that was also my experience with Political Machine 2012.
Not having played the previous two versions of the Political Machine franchise, I found myself curious as to how it would all play out. Largely, it feels like the game I was presented was more like a toy, complete with bobble head representations of the candidates running for president. It somewhat mimics, but never gets close to any true emulation of the political campaigns we see unfurling before us.
Elizabeth Burnette of Vivid Gamer writes, "Election Day is quickly approaching and most of us who are able to vote possibly think that we can do a better job in office than the current President. For the couch candidates, The Political Machine 2012 provides an opportunity for you to put your campaigning skills to the test. The path to getting to the Oval Office is just as much work as being the President. Has Stardock Entertainment captured the feel of racing against another opponent in hopes to gain the nation’s trust and votes?"
