298: Ghosts of Juarez

[Killerbunny001]

I played this game a little while ago along with two other Tom Clancy games. All of them uncomfortably mix silly juvenile sci-fi military power fantasies with real life silly juvenile military power fantasies.

All the references to the weapons and tanks were seemingly written by the Pentagon and were drooling over how powerful these new weapons are. My favorite description is boasting of guns "ease of use." Um, pull the trigger? The tough guy dialogue and terrible rock music videos make the game seem like a recruitment for the military.

The game is catering to the.. how do you people put it ? "Nascar watching, flag saluting Americans". And I guess it does a pretty good job at that through what you just said.

For me? I turn half the brain off, don`t think about the plot too much and manage to have fun.
