I'm going to start this review off with a comic that I think sums up the male existential dilemma more succinctly than anything I've ever seen, and then link you to the author's explanation of the game. Then I'm going to say, hey! Don't read that stuff yet! Play the game first! Some fraction of you may have follow the links sequentially and are now feeling cheated. Hey, at least you aren't stuck in a dead-end relationship!

Quicksand Games, creators of We Want You bring us another politically charged masterpiece, inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1968 short story, Why I Want To Fuck Ronald Reagan, it serves to transplant the political machinations of hyper-personalized political celebrity to the mechanics of puzzle-by-proxy AI manipulation games -- or, it's Lemmings with Barack.
I held off reviewing Lost Pig here because I beta-tested it, and I tend to feel some attachment to games I test.
Now that it's won first place in last year's annual IF Competition, though, and taken home the Best Individual PC, Best Individual NPC, Best Writing, and Best Game XYZZYs for 2007, and earned rave reviews from as far afield as the Onion AV Club, I think I can safely say it's not just my own affectionate beta-tester's bias at work: this is a fantastic game.
