With the release of Watch Dogs this week and it’s striking social commentary on the power a surveillance state can wield over a population, and how that power can be used in nefarious ways, Game Focus ponders on video games as a means to get across some sort of critical social commentary. Video games as a medium often cower away from saying anything too controversial and often try to appeal to the widest demographic possible in an attempt to attract more sales.
