HOO-AH! America's Army: True Soldiers reporting for duty! In demo form. On The Land Of The Free's Xbox Live Marketplace. 535MB.
As the description says: "Created by Soldiers, Developed by Gamers, Tested by Heroes".
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.
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 :)
Most gamers are quick to ridicule unfair game design situations, but why have we allowed this boom to continue anyway?
Hummmm, I will check it out and get back to you all.
Redstorm can (once again) prove their worth to Ubisoft by showing them what the GRAW series should've been like (better hit detection, ability to go inside buildings, First-Person ONLY, etc.)
I'll be checking this one out fo' sure!
My oh my.. this game was bad. It looks about 7 years old and plays as if it was the first FPS on a console. With COD4 out this next week this game looks and plays horribly.
The pc version is amazing and free :)
