Our games team is working on a new game called The Political Machine. It won't be out until May and the website hasn't even been announced. But I'll share it with you guys here.

It's actually a strategy game that can be played either single player or multiplayer on the net. We've been doing a great deal of demographic research to find out what issues matter to voters in which states and splice it between Democrats and Republicans. If you click on the game link on its page you can get more details.

There aren't very many political based games out there and the ones I have seen are immensely complicated. What we're trying to do is create one that could almost play like a board game. Something fairly straight forward to play but has very in depth strategies to master.

The website is still under construction but users here should be pleased to hear that it will share the same database as JoeUser.com. That means your account here at JoeUser.com will work there. In addition, the forums are shared as well so blogs and forum posts in the Politics category will automatically show up there since they're using the same database.
