Obama's Favorite Video Game Revealed

Relying on tabloids for game news is generally a risky proposition. This latest report from Star Magazine seems too silly to be fabricated, though.

A source (unnamed, of course) tells Star that Obama often plays BrickBreaker on his BlackBerry. "He plays to unwind, Every night before bed, he gives it a few minutes." In BrickBreaker, players must destroy bricks with a paddle and ball, while preventing the ball from falling off screen. Every mobile phone generally comes with some variation on the game.

The source also reveals that he's got a high score of about 15,000. Judging by the tone of the source, that's a good score. I don't play the game so I can't say. Insert smart-alecky comment about his bowling score here.
