The Indie Gaming Roundup – Democracy, Scram Kitty and More
Last weeks Indie Gaming Roundup was heavy on action and intrigue, but sorely lacking in politics and cats. I’ve taken it upon myself to right those wrongs, right here, right now. …

MPs Get Chance for Free Game
Do you think that your MP needs some training on real world issues before they make a decision that will impact upon you? Cliff from Positech certainly thinks so. He is of the opinion that most politicians aren’t qualified for the job, but he has a remedy.
Cliff is offering a free copy of his political strategy game; Democracy 2, to any elected official, be they from the UK, US or anywhere else in the world.
This is an interesting idea, it will be worth waiting to see if this picks up any mainstream coverage, and to find out if any MPs take Cliff up on his offer.
The Obama Game
Someone by the name of ‘Obama’ is going to be the next President of the United States. I don’t know what the fuss is all about, the US isn’t even an important country anymore is it?
For those of you who do care about Obama and his exploits, it is well worth checking out Super Obama World which takes a fun look at his Presidential campaign race.
I would vote for it to be the best game this year if I could. Honest guv!
