Hillary Vs. Obama

Press Release PROVIDED BY GAMES PRESS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 8, 2008 (Dallas, TX) – With the 2008 Democratic presidential primary in high gear, Dallas-based Blockdot has released “Hillary vs. Obama,” a hilarious game that brings new meaning to the term “political warfare.”

Pick the Democrat you support, then click your mouse repeatedly to punch, drag, and knock your opponent out of the race. The faster you click, the more “party points” you earn. You have only 15 seconds before the Secret Service will pull you off the candidate, so don’t hold back! For extra points, hit the Bill Clinton and Reverend Wright sock puppets that appear on the sidelines.

Will Hillary or Obama take the White House, or will their bickering burn out the voters — and lead to a McCain victory?

To play “Hillary vs. Obama” – or hundreds of other awesomely addictive games – visit Blockdot’s gaming portal www.kewlbox.com.
