This was designed and run by a friend of mine, and I thought y’all might find it amusing: [http://www.truthinvaders.com/index.html](http://www.truthinvaders.com/index.html)

It’s basically like Space Invaders, except that you shoot down lies told by politicians, to get the truth. In 2008, the game focused on lies told by both Democrats and Republicans. In the FAQ, he makes a compelling argument that in 2012, the level of outright untruths told by Republicans leaves the Democrats in the dust, and so the game is one-sided. However, still amusing and educational.
