There isn't exactly a long line of politically satirical mobile games. In fact, we can only really think of one: Glu Mobile's Bush vs. Kerry Boxing, which came out just before the last presidential election, and let you duff up Republicans or Democrats in the ring. However, it's now been joined by a second.
Bush Wacked is the work of Scottish developer Pixel Magick, and this time it stars just Dubya. The aim of the game is pretty simple too: destroy his opinion poll ratings by... hitting him with a mallet. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that, as you have to avoid 'wacking bombs' along the way. And you're rewarded – although we're not sure that's the right word – with Bushisms at the end of every level. The game's available now on Pixel Magick's own 1 Thumb Fun website. Will we see a British version, though? This writer would pay good money for a game that let you whack David Cameron over the head with a wind turbine, for example. Only in pretend, mind. Pocket Gamer does not condone actual violence against politicians of any ilk. Vote the rotters out.
