Another Portland Blog

Now that's what I call liberal propoganda!




If you're hard-pressed for ideas on how to cater to the youth vote, look no further than EmoGame's latest effort. The Anti-Bush Game is easily the most detailed and creative Flash game I've ever played. Someone must have spent an enormous amount of time putting this thing together.

The goofy, foul-mouthed, rated M premise follows Hulk Hogan, Mr. T and "Fatass He-Man," all with special attack moves, as they infiltrate the White House to stop the Bush Administration's new weapon, Voltron. Along the way, they run into various liberal gurus like Michael Moore and (yep) Howard Stern. Each dishes out a political rant before joining in on the action.




The first level takes place at the White House during a "Corporate Lobbyist Golf Tournament." From there, players descend into the mansion's nightmarish catacombs where Bush's minions (portrayed as pitchfork-totting pigs) blow through trillions of tax dollars. A secret chamber leads to Enron's headquarters before the game segways to a struggling middle-American town and a Willy Wonka chocolate factory that employs underpaid Oompah Loompahs. My favorite level features a gigantic Barbera Bush that fires GW clones from between her legs (see pic). No, I am not making this up.

The lectures are tedious at times but it's hard to argue with a video game that allows you to fight Paris Hilton in a machine-gun-equipped pink Cadillac and Michael Powell's gigantic boob robot. What would a conservative think of this incredibly surreal game? Given the level where players combat a Tom Ridge robot that flings duct tape, I get the feeling they wouldn't become instantaneous fans. Another level involves a mutant Dick Cheney with a pulsating red heart. And there's also Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man that, well, play the damn thing and see for yourself.




It's no secret which way my politics swing so I'll give the game an "H" rating for "HEE-LARIOUS!" If you're a Bush fan (*snicker*), and hate the Michael Moore, you'll most definitely enjoy this.
