Hi there, I work for a flash game production company, you may have seen some of our games under the KillerViral imprint.
Having found this blog I thought I should say hello to you all; whilst we do make casual online games and advergames we still try to make time for politics.
I'd like to show you a couple of examples of this, even though they're now historical documents rather than part of the current debate!
The Kung Fu Statesmen:
Built to raise some debate around the 2005 UK election, gamers can play as Tony Blair, current UK PM Gordon Brown or sleaze-victim David Blunkett:

I'd be interested to see what other people can find/come up with.
Hmm, didn't expect to write that much!
