The Political Machine 2008 gets update


As the US presidential election goes into its final weeks, Stardock has announced that it has updated its recent strategy-sim game The Political Machine 2008 with a number of new features. The update is only available via Stardock's Impulse download client.

The update includes adding the promised matchmaking features in the game's multiplayer mode. According to the press release, "It also includes features allowing players to print out bumper stickers and campaign pins from within the game: Players can create their own candidates, controlling everything about them in how they look, and then export them as an avatar for on-line use or use the new print shop to create a variety of physical media with their creations including campaign pins, bumper stickers, and more. The update adds the new vice presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin to be incorporated into campaigns as well."
