Stardock in Time Magazine
Wednesday, August 18, 2004 by Stardock Central | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Stardock's newest game, The Political Machine is now on shelves across North America (Walmart, Best Buy, CompUSA, etc.). Published by Ubi Soft, The Political Machine puts players in the role of the campaign manager of a Presidential candidate. Early reviews have been very positive.The new issue of Time Magazine reviews the game very favorably and includes a quote from Stardock's President & CEO (who goes by the unfortunate handle of "frogboy" on-line) in it. It's on page 21 of the August 23 issue.

I think the canidates should play this game the day before the election, Just like The 2 NFL teams do before the SuperBowl. To get a prediction of the outcome.

You're in the Boston Globe as well today, but your link parser breaks on '__' (double underscore) so I can't paste the link.

One thing that always come to my mind when I see the graphics used is that Paul Boyers 'handwriting' is all over the game. Great work Paul ! Now, that You are finished, can we see some more skinning by You again ?
