Water Cooler Games
Water Cooler Games served as the web's primary forum for "videogames with an agenda" — coverage of the uses of video games in advertising, politics, education, and other everyday activities, outside the sphere of entertainment.

The site was maintained at watercoolergames.org from 2003-2009, where it was edited by myself and Gonzalo Frasca. It is now archived here in full.

White House Joust 2008

Tis the season for political games. Here's a fighting game focusing on the Hillary-Obama primary madness. Just another fighting game but the interesting thing to me is that it is not made in the US but instead comes from europe. Nice graphics too.
