“Super Obama World” Takes Gaming By Storm

Perhaps one of the cooler things about being the President of the United States (other than getting to live in a big, swanky house with a personal chef) is getting all sorts of toys and games developed in your likeness. One of the more interesting of these to come along is “Super Obama World,” a Super Mario Bros-like game featuring Barack Obama going on various adventures. And, of course, what video game could ever be complete without -hentai- Sarah Palin:

The game takes a satirical look at US politics, with Obama collecting flags and dodging lipstick-wearing pit bulls, lobbyists and Sarah Palin.

The game is free to play online, and the developers plan to add further episodes throughout Obama’s presidency.

Free is good. Communists.

As well as satirical characters, the game’s environment also features luxury stores Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, in reference to the fact that the Republican campaign reportedly spent more than $150,000 on vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s wardrobe.

So. Do people want to play an Obama video game… or a video game featuring Obama that’s more aimed at making fun of Sarah Palin? We’ll stick to playing with Candybar Doll Maker during work. Unless they make a Ron Paul game in which you collect gold nuggets to win a time machine.
