Gamers may be surprised to find that while driving through their favorite parts of town in the Xbox 360 version of the hit game Burnout Paradise, Presidential hopeful Barack Obama will be looking down at them from a few of the game’s virtual billboards.

The billboard ads, which feature Obama’s face and the tagline “Early Voting Has Begun. VoteForChange.com”, have been sighted by gamers and the publisher Electronic Arts has confirmed that the campaign paid to have the ads placed there.

“Like most television, radio and print outlets, we accept advertising from credible political candidates,”
EA spokeswoman Holly Rockwood added. “Like political spots on the television networks, these ads do not reflect the political policies of EA or the opinions of its development teams.”
