Video Most Likely to Become a Video Game

I have to give President Bush this: He's very agile in ducking those shoes for a sixtysomething person. And the guy who threw the shoes was pretty good with him aim, even if he barely missed.

Of course this footage has not only been turned into a video game but also provided fodder for late night comics and YouTube mash-ups.

EDIT: I was proven right in the title of this post. There are a few such games based on the show-throwing incident but the best one I found is one called Sock and Awe.

Another Obama Video Game (Sort of)

It looks like Super Obama World has competition. Or sort of competition. The folks at BarelyPolitical.com (the same people who helped the Obama Girl gain fame) have their own video using 8-bit graphics titled 2008 Election: The NES Game. Like Super Obama World, this one also riffs off of the classic Super Mario Bros. video game as well as a brief scene at the end that echoes another classic Nintendo game, Duck Hunt.

The big difference is that 2008 Election: The NES Game is a video that you watch while Super Obama World is an actual interactive video game.

Sure, it's a fun video to watch but that's partly because I have fond memories of when I used to play Super Mario Bros. in the local video arcade back in the 1980s. But both Super Obama World and 2008 Election: The NES Game both riff on the same classic 8-bit game. I really would like to see parody political video games that riffs off of classic video games other than Super Mario Bros. How about a variation on Pac-Man where Barack Obama's head is eating tiny blue dots while being pursued by Republican elephants?

I'm Hooked on This Video Game!!!

If you've ever wondered "What if someone did a mash-up of Barack Obama and Super Mario Bros.?" well, you don't have to wonder anymore. Check out Super Obama World, where the first level starts in Alaska and Super Obama has to battle lipstick-wearing pigs and rich millionaires. Only the first level has been released so far but the site promises that more levels will be released over the next few weeks where Super Obama has to battle evil in places like Arizona, Illinois, and DC.
