So, I'm not a gamer, but this story caught my attention. These games lighten the load so to say during times of crisis, or poke fun of hot news topics. For instance, in Swinefighters your character is donned in doctor gear, mask and all carrying a syringe trying to take down angry looking piggys. You hit the with the a syringe, and you've killed it! Object of the game? See how many piggys you can annihilate in 20 seconds. You've just saved the world!
Maybe Sock & Awe is more your style? This one cracks me up to be honest... you get to chuck shoes at former president, George W Bush. Or Double Bird Strike, where you try to land a plane that's had some birds fly into it's engine.
I guess this is a way to keep light of any situation. There's lots more...Like MadeOff where you can manage your own Ponzi scheme.
We can't change the world, right? Nor can we live in constant fear... so if ya can't beat em, join em!
