"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
