Obamaman
For: PC and Mac
Rating: Standing Applause

"Asteroid Impact" is one of dozens of scenarios that you and President Obama must solve together.
Like Seaman in political attire, Obamaman is more of an interactive experience than a game. Most of the action takes place in an earnest, face-to-face dialogue with the chief executive, with occasional interruptions from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who pushes past his boss on the screen to deliver a scathing indictment of conservatism, Rush Limbaugh and your mother in language that would make a sailor faint. What a hoot. But the best part of Obamaman is when a world crisis strikes and the President asks for your advice. This is probably the closest any of us will get to the ultimate seat of power, and I have to confess that I got a bit heady. Quick tip: given the option to nuke The Mad Maw of Rush Limbaugh when he turns into a 300 foot wide mouth intent on devouring San Francisco the correct choice is rather–offer The Maw a giant pickle. — Fawn Mikal
