Political games

[elricik]

Can anyone name any games with a heavy political based plot. The only one I can think of is Final Fantasy 12. Can anyone else think of any?

Call of Duty 4 was quite political. The Grand Theft Auto games are also heavily satirical with a pretty clear anti-right bent.

I would like to see more replies to this thread. Politics are awesome, and I couldn't think of anything to add. Not even CoD4, I consider that more of an explanation of why wars are just horrible, and how bad it's really getting, rather than any type of political insight.

EDIT:

Half life 2 kinda has a future political view as i know were going to end up that way sooner or later.

Well, if you think about it hard enough, Fallout 3 is heavy on the politics.

In the endgame, You are forced to choose between the fascist Enclave and the egalitarian (but possibly misguided) Brotherhood of Steel, and your final decision determines who will (probably) win out.

But you do have to think about it, and actually pay attention to the storyline / minor characters' dialogue.
