Chair's Next Game Features...Obama And Romney?

Partnership with Rock the Vote, others fueling goofy political fighting game.

No Caption Provided

In just a little while, the next game from Chair Entertainment will be available on the iOS App Store, in which you’ll finally get to live out your fantasy of, um, a boxing match between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

It’s called VOTE!!!! The Game.

Yes, it really has does have four exclamation points.

It’s a goofy partnership with the well-intentioned Rock the Vote folks, who work each election cycle to encourage voter turnout, so it’s hard to say too much about it, one way or the other. Chair has also partnered with the Video Game Voters Network and Project Vote Smart to connect players with relevant information for this year’s election.

And even though Infinity Blade is more popular than Shadow Complex multiple times over, I refuse to characterize today’s news as “from the developers of Infinity Blade,” if only to encourage Chair Entertainment to finally make Shadow Complex 2.

VOTE!!!! The Game is already live in some territories (click this link to check yours), and should be available for everyone within the next day or so.

But why no independent candidates? Aren't people sick of the Republican/Democrat back and forth of terrible government decisions and rights violations yet?

This may be the most cloying political shovelware ever made, and that's seriously saying something.

Totally concur on your Shadow Complex 2 statement. IMO this is a waste of time, and talent.

Sadly even if Chair went through the trouble to make a Vote or Die game, I feel like the reference is just too old at this point.

If this game is nothing but a way to get people to register or consider voting, I'm game. Just not the playing part because I don't really give a shit about a fighting game with presidential candidates.

I'd prefer if it's a game where every player votes on who wins, and no matter what, you can't change the outcome on a personal level.
