Propaganda. It's that thing that's all around us and is probably bad for you, but no one gives a shit, except for one man because he's all out of gum: [audience laughs]. Okay, that probably wasn't a John Oliver-worthy opening, but propaganda in video games is real and has influenced many a game since the inception of the industry itself.
Hardcore Games - So you come from work or school. You’re tired, exhausted, and want to relax with a good game. So you figure, “Hey, why don’t I buy Heavy Fire: Afghanistan? It’s only five bucks.”
Ah, America. I hear it’s the land of the free and the home of the Whopper. Sure, it’s in somewhat deep shit over PRISM and several other scandals, but you can’t help but respect it for at least trying to make those scandals possible.
With that out of the way, it’s Independence Day here in the United States. You’re more likely to find a barbecue than productivity this time of year, so in the spirit of things, our reviews editor Andrew Esposito and I have decided to compile our top 3 patriotic games. These are games that will make Lady Liberty herself blush with shame for her relative lack of patriotism.
Freedom Fighters says hello! Such a short sighted list. It should be at least number 3 on that list. Metal Gear feels a lot more Japanese than American.
Notable mention for the most American games ever:
- Ford vs Chevy
- Assassin's Creed 3
- Counter Strike
- Scarface: The World is Yours
- Cabela's franchise
- Saints Row the Third
- Mortal Kombat
- Call of Duty franchise
P.S. Murica!!!
Freedom Fighters was on the list. Fantastic game! It was 2, top 3 lists. Freedom Fighters came in at #2 on one of them :)
In the dusty, undeveloped wastelands of Western Mudos, cantankerous townsfolk find their settlements besieged by belligerent outlaws. Along comes Stranger, a tall, dark and enigmatic bounty hunter with a critter-firing crossbow. First released in 2005, Stranger’s Wrath has been passionately upgraded in HD and is coming to the PS Vita this week.
Enjoy this week The Drop.
I can't wait for OddWorld: Stranger's Wrath. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a retail purchase.
I also think we will see Batman: Arkham Asylum free on plus soon in North America.
" The game will be available as part of the “Instant Game Collection” from November 20th until December 31st."

I post that, because I don't expect anything new before or after the 31st of December.
