Comedy Central's The Daily Show's Indecision 2012 Goes Mobile

Since 2012 is an election year, it's best to celebrate it by engaging in an on-going political debate while wearing funky clothes and answering political pop culture questions. Luckily 2K Games partnered with Comedy Central and The Daily Show to create their Indecision Game app for iOS and Android.

It's a combination of daily quiz favorite Q*Rank mixed with a bit of Risk and general avatar dress-up. From their press release:

"Players then go head-to-head with their opponent to answer humorous, politically-themed questions against a relentless ticking clock. Correct responses earn players "Voters" that must be strategically placed on the game's "Big Map" of the United States. State domination results in a "Smarts" victory for both the player and their party. In the heat of the campaign, players can rely on "Political Aides" for help, including stealing a state from opponents or demanding a "Recount". Real-time results are displayed in the game's "Election Headquarters" so there will be no hiding which party is the smartest - whether the margin is by a hair or a landslide."

You can then dress up with party-specific items like the "I-See Russia Specs" or an "O-Bomber" using the in-game currency of Greenbacks. All in all, it's probably way more fun and far less aggrevating than debating subjects on the Congressional floor or campaign trail. It could also teach both sides of the political spectrum that despite their differences, there are still such a thing as Independent voters.
