Sock and Awe is a minimal 2008 Flash game created by British entrepreneur Alex Tew, recreating the Bush shoeing incident and putting the player in control of journalist Muntadar al-Zaidi who flinged a shoe at George W. Bush during a news conference. While a hastily-put together crudity, it went viral and received widespread news coverage right around its release, only a day after the actual incident. It's a well-known example of a newsgame. The name of the game is a pun on the US shock and awe military tactic.
