Dean for Iowa Game

http://www.deanforamericagame.com/

This is a game about Dean running for the Iowa Caucus and the way he get's the word out about his views.

I was surprised by this game. I really didn't know what it would be like. The mini games were actually fun. I do wish that they had a better variety of mini games but they got their point across. I think they did a good job at educating the player at the amount of work that goes into elections. Weather or not I would vote for him, I understood the importance of voting. This is a good way go inform people.

This game was bout the depletion of the world's rain forests and action that are taken to try and stop this from happening.

I was excited to play this game because of the back story and the art style that they were using. They had a good looking game with good sound effects as well. I really don't have anything else to say about this game. I couldn't get pass the first part. The controls for it were horrible. Even after the 4th play through I still couldn't get the hang of it. If they want to get their message out to people using this method, they need to make it easier to pick up and play. I don't want to spend a ton of time trying to get used to controls. Despite the lack of controls the message is still there with the back story.

Peta's Super Chick Sisters

This is an anti-KFC game and the methods they use to prepare their chicken.
I think this is the best of the three that I have played. This game is easy to pick up and play. It has a good presentation. I think that they incorporate their message well into the game. Instead of collecting coins you are collecting chick, or should I say saving them. The spoof on the Mario Bro's is clever and funny. Colonel Sanders as Bowser is funny but they incorporate it in such a way that it works for their agenda. Over all it gets the message out.
