Alex Seropian, the co-creator of the blockbuster video game franchise “Halo,” has turned his attention to something less violent but with arguably more backstabbing: presidential politics.

Under his new label, Wideload Games, Seropian is set for a March release of “Hail to the Chimp,” a metaphorical look at the election with 10 animals standing in for the candidates.

“It’s a nonpartisan game, but it’s got all the elements of our current administration,” a Wideload spokeswoman said. Including, we might add, a chimp that looks suspiciously like a caricature of President Bush.

She said in movie terms, it would rate about a PG-13 in terms of content. “It’s a family game, but not for little ones,” she said. “There’s a lot of innuendo.”
