Review:

Since the U.S. election is taking place right now i though i would bring you a political themed post, so therefore meet The Political Machine 2008 Express. This turn based game is based around the 2008 U.S. campaign and in it you can lead either Obama or MaCcain to victory, you can even create your own custom candidates. This "Express" version lacks several features from it 's paid big brother like for exampling saving (Thankfully a standard game doesn't last too long) and a wide variety of candidates but it's still pretty fun regardless. Before you can play tough you must create an account with StarDock's impulse service, it's annoying but a small price to pay for a free game. In conclusion if you would like to know what it's like to handle a presidential campaign or just want to make your candidate the winner then The Political Machine 2008 Express is a pretty decent choice.Available for Windows XP/Vista.
