Game Revolution: I'm not sure if it's catharsis or merely 'Saying Something'. It seems that for every game I appreciate that involves an out-and-out Good Guy protagonist—a morally-upstanding freedom fighter, heroic can-do plumber, or other well-meaning do-gooder fighting The System—there are at least three more games out there that oblige the player to be a ruthless, brutal badass—a morally-dubious gunslinger, a thieving, opportunistic, piratical buccaneer, or an ambitious, brutal mobster.
