Video Games
I played two politically based games "click4Obama" and "Presidential Pong".
Presidential Pong is an persuasive game to teach you some of the "skills" or talents of the candidates for the presidential election, by having them compete in a simple game of Pong. The game allows you to be any of the 2008 presidential candidates. Basically you play the age old game of pong. I did not think the game was very persuasive besides the fact that you could use your candidate to hopefully beat the others. The game technically could be persuading people to get involved with the election.
The game "Click for Obama" teaches facts about American history and current political conditions. I think this game is both persuasive and educational. It is educational because you are learning the facts and playing the game gives "pixels" towards Obama's advertisements. By learning, players are actually supporting the democratic presidential candidate, Barak Obama. This clicking game is also a persuasive game, because it makes the player support Obama. Which the support and clicks help develop his campain.
