IGN: "Where's the change we can believe in?"
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?"
I was wondering when someone would finally do this. With politics being such a big game in the first place, I'm surprised it took so long for a game manufacturer to bring it to our consoles. It's a great news story. Good job. :)
That it is, but it is the first one that has caught my eye, so it is the first one put out, but with retrospective aspects. O.o
Either that or I'm just too lazy to check to make sure what I am saying doesn't sound stupid. Yeah, that is probably the case. XD
