For his upcoming campaign towards a second term as President of the United States, Obama will once again advertise through video games - specifically, EA games. <br /><br /><em>Madden NFL 13</em> across various consoles and other undisclosed EA games are on deck to dish out Obama ads, including EA's casual games portal Pogo and EA Mobile games like <em>Tetris</em>, <em>Scrabble</em> and <em>Battleship</em>. These ads will show up for gamers in Ohio, Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and Virginia.<br /><br />Four years ago, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/30/obama-billed-44-5k-for-in-game-advertising/">Obama paid $44,500</a> for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/16/obama-ads-not-just-in-burnout-paradise/">in-game advertising in <em>Burnout Paradise</em> and other games</a>.
