Newsgame index

Here are links to some interesting newsgames—basically anything commenting on a recent event, ongoing political race, or similar.

To keep things manageable I focus on smallish games made not long after events. I also restrict the scope to games that have some sort of editorial commentary, as opposed to just referencing recent events. I've done a bit of ad-hoc summarization, analysis, and categorization, and link to more in-depth commentary elsewhere, where available.
