Barack Obama becomes the United States of America’s 44th President today, or hadn’t you heard? Video games aren’t expected to play much of a role — if any — in the Inauguration Day festivities, but video games are still an ideal way to get in Obama’s shoes for a glimpse of what the new President is seeing today. MTV's Stephen Totilo created one awesome recreation of the inauguration site with the help of Fallout 3 and some screen capturing software; check it out below in celebration of today's festivities:
"Video games are an under-used tool for understanding current events. Let’s change that and use the most graphically realistic version of Washington, D.C. ever created to get an enhanced perspective of today’s Inauguration Day, shall we?
So, through the magic of last year’s multi-million-selling “Fallout 3” we can see Barack Obama’s Inauguration-day perspective. But we’ve got the added (subtracted?) touch of nuclear devastation."
