Barack Obama isn’t the President onboard Air Force One in HAWX

We always get a good dose of politics when playing Tom Clancy games. Curiosity got the best of Patrick Klepek of the MTV Multiplayer Blog and decided to ask Ubisoft if the new US prez is onboard Air Force One in Tom Clancy’s HAWX (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). Yep, news is getting slow.

Anyway, one of the missions in HAWX involves defending Air Force One as it flies the President to a safe location. Klepek wondered if it was Obama in there, but Ubisoft tells him that it’s not. In fact, the president doesn’t even have a name in HAWX, he’s just referred to simply as “the president.”

Anyway, at the end of his post, Klepek left with a question, “How do you think video games should handle virtual Presidencies?”

Political views, anyone?

• Ubidays 2008: Tom Clancy’s EndWar features crossover with HAWX, voice commands
• Ubisoft to merge Tom Clancy universes into one MegaGame
