Now, That’s How You Foil an Assassination Attempt.

As expected, EA’s Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (Xbox 360/PS3) is, reportedly, execrable, and Gearfuse.com calls it “the most mediocre game ever.” But this promised DLC (downloadable content) pack, letting you play as Sarah Palin or Barack Obama, has got to be the chilly-most-sweet thing ever for the next two hours.

As you’ll see in this 1:31 clip, not only does Obama, above, loudly “SMACK!” the gun from the hands of a disgruntled soldier, but, grabbing the miscreant’s grenade, clears his tank with the pineapple before making tracks.

Meanwhile, Palin, right, stomps through an empty bar, looking for Joe Sixpack, before shimmying up a helicopter grappling hook, smacking the pilot’s skull against the instrument panel, dumping him out the seat, and taking control. Yo: Who needs foreign policy when you’ve got a rocket launcher?
