With Election Day fast approaching, Electronic Arts has confirmed rumors of political candidates, Sen. Sarah Palin (Alaska, R) and Sen. Barack Obama (Illinois, D) appearing as playable characters in an upcoming Mercenaries 2: World in Flames update.
“Mercenaries 2 is a game seemingly ripped straight out of today’s headlines and fueled with the same type of over-the-top action found in the best summer blockbuster films. It only makes sense we inject the game with a spin on current affairs. The timing was too good to let pass.
