« In a beautiful country, which is far away, there are elections, real smurfs ".Americans choose their new president of the government.In case you live in another galaxy and you have not aware, the thing is between the Republican Donald Trump and the Democrat Hillary Clinton, and everything is very reluctant, but as human beings we are incorrigible jokes, the constant quarrels and the risque debates are not the only protagonists of the bell, but that we also have instruments to have fun and have a fun time at the expense of the candidates .This is the video game that stars.
Video games to power
In this digital age that we have to live, the Internet world is present in all areas.We can already talk about sports, fashion, cinema or something that supposedly should be as serious as politics.The elections of the United States are a hot topic that we are all very aware of and in the online universe this prominence has a special touch.It is a hotbed of creativity in which Internet users continue to dazzle us with new proposals.
App developers multiply and their imagination goes beyond looking for the way to connect with the news that engages citizens, there are few video games and applications that are generated around the hot issues, and nobody gets rid of that, not even the politicians who aspire to dominate the world.
In addition, there is an interesting dichotomy.Many of these video games can have mockery connotations, in which the mockery towards the candidate is the maximum but, is this perhaps negative? No, necessarily.Surely you've heard that phrase that says "talk about you, even for the worse." Well, starring in one of these video games is being in the pillory, being the protagonist of the action and, therefore, attracting looks, so I'm sure Trump and Clinton are happy to have that showy showcase that undoubtedly brings them closer to millions of users and, of course, potential voters .
Trump, the king of video games
In this race, not because of the presidency, but because of the media presence, it is Donald Trump who takes the palm .Trump has been controversial since that word was invented and, in his new stage politics, weird is the day we didn't hear about him, his statements, his actions...
Trump speaks, raises the bread.A few months ago, the Republican candidate did not think of anything other than to say that, if he was elected President, he would ban Nintendo video games, a company that, apparently, does not have sympathy: Well, Jeff Hong devised an original form of protest: the creation of Trumptedo.Hong is a graphic artist who has worked for Disney or Nickleodeon and has decided to do a review of some of the classic Nintendo games but with a striking peculiarity: the "bad" of the story is Donald Trump.So, 'Donkey Trump', 'Super Bernie Bros!', 'Donald Trump's Urban Champion'...are some of the creations we can find on this page and that serve to fight the "villain" Trump, while, incidentally, we wake up our nostalgia.
But this is not the only example because, as we say, for video game creators it is too succulent not only to give up a political figure, but to a whole character full of media appeal such as Trump.Steam, the PC video game platform , it has become an unusual showcase with the most disparate games about politicians, in which, as it could not be otherwise, Donald Trump is more than protagonist. 'Make American Great Again' is not only one of the Trump slogans , but has also become a popular video game that even has a sequel: 'The Trump Presidency', which includes "guest" characters such as Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea.'Trump Pinata' (let's not lose sight of the Latin reference) or'Supreme Ruler Ultimate 'are other examples.
And, if all this seems little, we can take a little walk through the Play Store, where the apps in which Trump is the main character grow like mushrooms.We have'Trumps' Wall ', in which the polemic wall announced by the candidate gets all the attention or'Your hair like Trump's', to put a combed like his in one of your photographs and feel what he feels or «Donald Trump fighting game«, from where we have taken the image that heads this article.
Hillary doesn't fall behind
Many of the video games that star the candidates are very controversial, but, as we have explained, they also have a reversal of notoriety and publicity that anyone who wants to have visibility would not want to resist.In fact, the Democratic candidate has not hesitated to use such a striking trick as Pokemo GO to approach potential voters .Clinton bell members would be using the pokeparadas in which a large number of people are concentrated to get closer to users and encourage the vote towards Hillary.
Again, we find in Steam a great variety of games that refer to the political-competitive spirit that is lived in the United States in the last months.'The Political Machine 2016 'has Clinton as one of its undisputed protagonists.of a strategy game in which the key is that your speeches are more powerful and convincing than those of your rival.It is a journey through all the states of the nation in which there are touches role that have already conquered many gamers.
The apps available on the Play Store also serve as political thermometer , more or less political applications help us see opponents rival in this entertaining world of video games, a battle that will surprise many but that is very alive.We have from the classic game in which to throw objects to the candidate: 'Hit Hillary', in which we can "give away" all kinds of objects, even mails; until the 'Flappy Hillary Elections 2016 ′, a platform game to help Clinton reach the White House.
But, without a doubt, the games in which Clinton and Trump compete directly are a hit for users who want to take this policy in a very good mood.It is not necessary to present a formula very original, just knowing how to introduce the characters in the video games “of a lifetime.” 'Race to White House' brings us the classic car race, while 'Election Knockout' opts, directly, for a fight to punches.
That's not all, folks
But political-inspired video games have not been invented now, much less.It is a growing trend, due to the enormous impact of technology on our lives, but its existence dates back decades ago .
In Spain, the hare in 2014 with 'Casta Wars', a smartphone game that shares the humorous qualities that we have seen in other examples.The company Chaotic-Kingdoms was responsible for bringing this game to market.protagonist was a Pablo Iglesias who traveled on stages like The Congress of Deputies, the Genova headquarters of the Popular Party or the dish of 'The Sixth Night' .
PACT TOO FURIOUS
Of course, the difficulty in reaching government pacts has also been transferred to videogames and we can contribute to this achievement even in the virtual world.Yes, in Pact Too Furious we have the opportunity to lead the candidates to the agreement in this fun runner, with the aim of keeping the pact as long as possible.
The examples are innumerable.'Pujol Gate ', is a game to chase the Catalan politician's family through different scenarios that are nothing other than tax havens.'Gorby's Pipeline' dates back to 1991, and has Gorbachev as its protagonist.A friendly game for the president in which the user helped him connect pipes.'GTAguirre 'referring to the episode that the leader of the PP lived in 2014 with mobility agents and' Guerrilla War ', of 1987, had as protagonists Che Guevara and Fidel Castro .And you, what politician would you like to see starring in a video game?
