3. I don't have Twitter

But this might be enough to get me started. Thanks. I've never been a video game player either, yet hunting 1%'ers could entice me too. Not with assault weapons necessarily, and I don't know what the weapon would be - but if someone designs such a game, this old lady might buy into it.

4. Oh you don't need twitter to play the game.

It's just like a cute little space invaders clone. Just point and click.

Then if you do have twitter then you can go to the blast-em page and the game kind of integrates with twitter a little bit.

5. Tax Evaders Video Game Sheds Interactive Light On Corporate Greed

Protesters had something to do as they gathered in 10 cities like New York, Baltimore, Seattle, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Tampa, Gainesville and Hawaii from April 10 through Tax Day, April 15. That’s because there were giant projections on the sides of corporate buildings like Citibank allowing them to use a Wii controller or Kinect for Xbox 360 to battle corporate greed virtually.

Tax Evaders, which is also available to play for free online at www.taxevaders.net, is a humorous take on Space Invaders that offers more than just the chance for a high score. With the nation busy making last-minute preparations for the IRS tax deadline, this original game is literally shedding light (through projection technology designed for Occupy Wall Street) on one of the problems this country faces because of corporate loopholes and a government controlled by special interest groups.

Gan Golan, coordinator of the national project, talks about what’s wrong with our current tax loopholes and how gaming can be used to raise awareness for important issues in this exclusive interview.

Where did the idea for a video game come from?
