When the word “political” is heard the first thing that often comes to mind is the presidential elections. Then afterwards we may think of the Iraq war, the $700 billion bailout, and scandals, but nowhere in our minds do we associate videogames with the word “political.” Why is that so?

In matter of fact there are several popular videogames that have many political aspects to them, and one puts you into this year’s election.
Sure, we are used to seeing extreme violence, mass weapons, grave destruction of buildings, gory deaths of our enemies, but sex? Sex and video games are not usually associated with one another; however, this hasn’t stopped publishers from including lashings of gratuitous pornography in their games over the years. Controversy over the amount of sexual exposure in video games has become more and more prevalent in recent years as gamers get used to more and more sex in games.

Madden is back and slightly better than ever! The Madden series has
consecutively outdone itself each and every year since it debuted,
however this year's update seems to lack any major progress. Sure, the

a few other tidbits, but compared to past releases this one seems to
have failed to reinvent the wheel. You have to give Madden a break
though, I mean, even the best slip up every now and then.
