Oil God is a 2006 newsgame created by Persuasive Games dealing with the relationship between the gas prices at the pump and the way the oil industry works.[1][2] It has been likened to a simpler version of the strategy game Black & White.[3] The lead designer was Ian Bogost.[4] The reception was mediocre; James Ransom-Wiley of Engadget called it "a crude experience, pumped with superficial cynicism [that] fails to deliver "news" about the real world oil biz."[4]
