The party game is a curious genre. Most other game genres describe some inherent characteristic of the game. Adventure games take you adventuring, shooters let you shoot aliens and/or Nazis, and sandbox games are usually full of bugs, just like a real sandbox.

But if you want to play a party game, it is best to have a party handy. By this measure, Wii owners must be virtual Paris Hiltons, luxuriating in a vast wealth of brief social interactions punctuated by furious bouts of waggling. Meanwhile, Xbox 360 and PS3 owners lie staring at the ceiling while Dark Side of the Moon repeats a fourth time.

Into this bleak emotional void marches Hail To The Chimp: A Presidential Party Game. The politically-themed title will be sworn in June 24 on Xbox 360 and PS3; it is published by GameCock and developed by Stubbs The Zombie creators Wideload Games. To celebrate the release of their celebration game, Chicago-based Wideload held a (wait for it…) celebration. Impressions after the jump.
