We decide the president isn’t worth taking a bullet for in this game.

I'm not entirely certain, but it probably has to do with the fact that both are tied to such strong personal beliefs that any disagreement or varying opinion is an affront. So why bring up such a hot topic at the beginning of a videogame review? Well, a few weeks ago, I got Secret Service, which made me think about politics. So, let's dive into my experience with this first-person shooter."
People say don't judge a book by its cover. Well, in this case, you can ignore that. Secret Service takes place on Inauguration Day in Washington DC and start with an attack on the president himself. He's wounded and your job is to protect him.
Which is much easier than it sounds – the AI baddies just keep on running down the barrel of your gun, taking no cover and occasionally breaking into a sprint only to meet their demise sooner.

"Then there's the gameplay. With the exception of a few sparse sequences where you're shooting from a chopper it's all very samey – enter area, get ambushed, fight your way out. There are better games out there – most notably the Call of Duty and Rainbow Six series; but Secret Service does have one thing going for it – and that's the price. Secret Service is a budget title, approximately half the price of a top tier shooter and that changes our perspective a little. It's not the best in the field but neither is it the worst; and for a cash strapped gamer looking for a weekend's worth of secret agent blasting, there are worse games on the shelves."
