Bull Chip Toss

Here's Bull Chip Toss, created by Gabriel Jensen. It's a satyrical game about the Bush administration's relationship with the media. I think it is a really good example of newsgame -no matter if you agree with its points or not. The gameplay is decent, the match between gameplay and content works well and it is fine also on a technical level. If online publications were to have small satyrical games, Bull Chip Toss would be a perfect example (listen up, my old pals at CNN: Cartoon Clicks is sooo 20th century...)

Funny, but typical leftist. The game creators also seem to think the New York Times is the highest example of honest news media. LOL!
