political video games  

Definition

  • Video games officially became a significant cultural force when sales outpaced Hollywood movie ticket receipts in 1999. Apart from games such as The Political Machine (2004), a strategy game that simulates a presidential race, relatively few mainstream games have taken conventional politics as a central theme.
