Presidential Flash Games

If you check out the politics tag on Will and Beyond, you'll see that I have Obama fever.  How can I work that into a post here on Table Salt Games?  How about some Obama flash games.  Kongregate links are given whenever possible.  Be forewarned that none of these are as good as you'd find on Flashy Friday.

The Good:

Campaign: General Election: Fun strategy game where you have to win over all of the regions of the US using your candidate and staff.  Staffmembers include the Spinmeister, Fundraiser, and the Operative.  Slinging mud and launching negative campaign ads are two examples of fun attacks you have.

The Mediocre:

Polimon: Politics + Pokemon = Polimon.  Walk around the country activating states while you run into random battles with evangelists, political conservatives, etc.

Super Obama World: A Super Mario World knockoff.  Instead of mushrooms making you grow big, slices of pie (huh?) make you wear sunglasses.  Don't collect coins, but rather American flags.  Levels such as "The Real America" and "I Can See Russia from my House!".  Unfortunately, I got to the end of one of the levels, and nothing happened...

Race for the White House: Very easy.  At some point in the beginning I ran past McCain and never saw him again.  Collect money, avoid campaign road blocks, and don't kill birds unless you want to lose the green vote.

The Bad:

Hilary vs. Obama: Do like clicking a lot?  As long as you don't expect anything other than clicking, this could be the game for you!

Obama vs. Joe the Plumber: Punch with M, block with B.  Yeah, that's it.  As tired as I was of hearing about Joe the Plumber, this still isn't very satisfying.

American Chess 2008: Are all of these games just bad attempts at fighting games, 'Obama vs. [insert opponent's name here]'?

Barack Obama Race for the White House: Not a fighting game, but still.  Looking for a bad Puzzle Bobble knockoff?  Here you go.

And on a completely unrelated note, here's a inexplicably fun Monopoly knock-off.

Godspeed.

Super Obama World is my new favorite game.
