re: #15 CuriousLurker

I get that it’s just a game an that it’s based on history. Call me old fashioned or whatever, but I don’t like that kind of stuff. To me games are supposed to be fun—it’s fine if the objective is to blow up zombies or do battle with some other imaginary monsters or aliens or whatever, but when it comes to killing cops (GTA) or reenacting horrible things done in the name of religion I no longer see it as “fun”.

I don’t happen to like those first-person shooter games either, even when the targets are imaginary creatures.They’re just too violent & gory for me (not to mention the realism of the gore)… it’s like the only point of the game is mutilation, killing & blood. I feel the same about slasher/torture type movies.

I have never played any of these games, never wanted to, but I think the “Assassin’s Creed” trailer for their Revolutionary War scenario is really lame, especially with “American the Beautiful” as background music.
