Pandemic’s latest downloadable content (DLC) called “Mercenaries 2-World in Flames” has Barack Obama and Sarah Palin as mercenaries in a war zone blowing up stuff all over the place.
In this preview of the Xbox 360 video game Obama, who is dressed in a business suit, and Sarah Palin who is rocking a red jacket with a black skirt, engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy (which strangely is not each other), shoot at tanks and helicopters with bazookas and pull stunts, the likes of which I had not seen since Rambo and the third presidential debate between Obama and McCain.
I would not drop a penny on this video game, but it is a lot of fun to watch.
