Egyptian video game show battles between candidates

2012-08-27 6

A new video game that pits Egyptian Presidential hopefuls against each other in 'mortal' combat battles, has proved to be a big success in internet cafes.

The game allows players to control their fighters, such as nuclear expert turned politician Mohammed el-Baradei, in fights against other candidates.

Parliamentary elections are scheduled for later this month. There's still no date set for a presidential vote.
