Mr. Bush goes straight to his office. It is strangely quiet at the White House. George sits down to do some 'research' on his PC, but the long day has taken its toll. He slowly drifts off to sleep, and his forehead finally hits the keyboard.
A loud banging at the door awakens him. George slowly lifts his head and wipes the drool from the side of his face. Night has fallen and the only source of light in the room is the PC. George logs off of the 'research' site he was looking at and goes to answer the door, but just as he lays his hand on the handle and the irritating door opening sequence starts, it bursts open and his secretary shuffles in.
“uh, you’re lookin’ a little worse fer wear” Mr. Bush nervously jokes.
The only reply he gets from his smellier than usual secretary is “Brains...” in a somewhat strained voice. George tries the emergency button. Usually two armed but stupid men in suits more expensive than their weapons would have appeared in seconds. But no one was there. No one except the severely unhinged secretary, who on closer inspection seemed to have taken up self mutilation as a hobby, and was mumbling about brains. George tries the telephone. But it’s been cut. So he does what any US President, indeed what any politician would do; he runs like hell.
And this is where you come in. In the brand new series from Bapcom, “President Evil”, you get to guide The Most Powerful Man In The World™ around the White House and other exciting highly restricted US Governmental areas. On the way you will battle legions of Satan’s minions. But you won’t just be fighting politicians. No, you’ll also be up against hordes of the undead all the while unravelling the terrible secrets of the Raincoat Corporation. Some of the tougher enemies you may stumble on are the hippie anti-war protestor who has been grotesquely malformed by constant exposure to the D.O.P.E. virus, disgruntled weapons inspectors exposed to Iraqi biological experiments and cats. There’s nothing wrong with the cats. They just attack George because cats can sense pure evil.
Throughout the game George will have to solve various puzzles to reach more restricted areas, and will collect various classified documents. In an interesting gameplay twist you will only have the vocabulary of George Dubya, rendering even the simplest of documents practically useless. Words that Mr. Bush cannot currently comprehend are written in symbols, so the dictionary item will likely take up semi-permanent residence in one of your item slots.
Details are scarce on the arsenal you will be able to employ against the undead freaks, but we’re talking about George Bush, so expect a lot of boring political rhetoric and use of tactical air strikes. Or maybe not. The only weapon to be seen thus far is a small handgun, probably taken from one of George’s (semi) deceased bodyguards.
Apart from the details laid out here not much else is known about President Evil. Critics are however dubbing it the first ever ‘Presidential Horror’ game, and internet rumours suggest the US Government have offered Bapcom, the developers, large sums of money to make the mastermind behind the zombification of US personnel a certain moustached dictator. Whether Bapcom will take the offer, assuming it is true, has yet to be seen. President Evil is due for an early 2003 release. More updates as and when they become available.

If I win a GAD for it, you can have some of the box :)
Don't listen to the critics, when you do your posts like these they make a great read (if that all makes sense?).
Just like your "Shigsy's Garden" one... Maybe you'll win for this one too? ;)
I should be getting Resident Evil sometime next-week too. :D

So when do I get paid...?
:D
That gives me an idea too...
President Evil? Genius.
:D
