If there is anyone who still can’t decide between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, may we suggest one of these five fictional video game presidents for a write-in vote?
Election Day 2016 is finally here and the long rivalry between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will soon be coming to a close. This particular election has been especially brutal, with plenty of mudslinging on both sides and what seems like a new scandalous headline hitting the paper almost every day. But as video game fans, we know that things could actually be a whole lot worse. Sure, there have been some real life Presidents who have appeared in video games but no actual President has ever had to deal with some of the issues that these five fictional Commander-in-Chiefs had to tackle. Here are our Top 5 Fictional Presidents in Video Games.
5 President Marion Bosworth (Call of Duty Black Ops II)
4 President George Sears (Metal Gear Solid 1+2)
3 President Adam Benford (Resident Evil 6)
President Adam Benford’s downfall began when he decided to reveal the U.S. government’s involvement in Raccoon City being destroyed by the t-Virus outbreak years prior. Benford had good intentions but his national security advisor didn’t want the information publicized and took steps to get the President out of the picture. Long story short, Benford was one of 70,000 people infected with the C-Virus, and the leader of the free world mutated into a zombie before his friend and RE 6 protagonist, Leon, could save him. As far as we’re concerned, a zombie President is the best president, but sadly, Leon thought otherwise and put Benford down with a shot to the head.
