White House Calibur: Obama vs. McCain

chautemoc | August 03, 2008 | Video | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
For whatever reason, games and politics seem to go together like milk and cookies. Wine and cheese? Cake and milkshakes? Whatever. What I'm getting at is Darren Gladstone of PC World has taken the character creation system in Soul Calibur IV to yet another level, bringing presidential candidates into the mix. Obama definitely pulls off Maxi's style, I'll say that.
Normally, I try to keep it casual with PC World's weekly slothfest--and this week was to be no different. The original plan was to dig into the megaton fighting game, Soul Calibur IV , which launched this week for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It looks fantastic, is amazingly replayable, and lets you beat up frenemies over the Internet. Then I flip on the news. Senator McCain jabs at Senator Obama, saying that Barack is akin to Paris Hilton (minus the estrogen and X-rated videos). Obama fires back about GOP tactics. There has to be a more civil way for these two to hash out differences. That's when it hits me: You can create your own custom fighters in Soul Calibur. Yeah, I think you can see where this is going...

    That doesn't even look like McCain.

    Frankly, the video itself isn't that interesting. Maybe if they dubbed it with excerpts from their speeches it would be nicer, but I'm sticking with that editted debate somebody made with WoW.
