Mad Men: The Game
The decisions you make in this YouTube interactive fan fiction game (based on the AMC television show) not only determine the fate of one Madison Avenue advertising agency, they might just save the world. Help Don Draper regain his confidence, inner peace and good ideas while preventing his untimely death. Although it's disappointing this isn't a true platform game since your involvement doesn't extend beyond clicking an occasional option, Mad Men: The Game is an entertaining and enjoyable parody of 1960s culture and the show that has everyone talking about it.

I keep killing Don off! The only other ending I've found is
Don saves the company (although obviously he doesn't)
What is the third?
I did find the meta-narrative pretty funny, and some of the lines are excellent, especially Peggy's.

I really couldn't get into playing this. Ironically, the ad-laden Youtube gets in the way of the gameplay. I was hearing ads in the background and Youtube's mechanisms seemed to work against the game, for instance when making a choice. If you let it run for too long, you lose the choice screen and have to backtrack a bit. If you pause it while trying to decide, you sometimes get a screen full of adsense. Something with less ads would have made this work better, I think. Something like Vimeo.
Smoothfonzo,
Yes, it would be nice to play this on a different platform. The needing to decide quickly acts like a game mechanic, though.
