McCain’s Campaign Gets Creative With Video Game
John McCain’s campaign got quite creative today with the release of this year’s first official presidential video game. Pork Invaders, shown above, is a remake of the classic Space Invaders, where a user shoots vetoes at legions of scary pigs.
The graphics, sound and gameplay are all pretty mediocre, but mildly addicting nonetheless.
For a campaign that has yet to show a whole lot of Internet savvy, this is a huge step in the right direction — showing some out of the box thinking and even a bit of humor. The fact that the game is both embeddable (as above) and Facebook-compatible scores extra points for the Arizona senator.
While I applaud the effort and creativity, I hope Barack Obama’s campaign comes back with a game that blows this one out of the water — it wouldn’t be that difficult.
Maybe a “Wolfenstein 3-D” remake in Guantanamo?
