[QUOTE="lyle.spade, post: 7731100, member: 30042"] Never before have I seen a game that so ham-handedly seeks to ape contemporary issues and simultaneously give those of a certain sociopolitical stripe a vehicle through which to act out their sweaty-palmed fantasies. Do not take that as an endorsement or jab...I'm looking through my 'third person omniscient' at a certain offering on this list. Worth a chuckle...or several. The system sounds interesting, although the background has jumped on the all-things-80s bandwagon (which, really, is excusable since it was pretty much the best decade in living memory). On that topic, will there ever be a revival of 90s American pop culture? We could have games where the whole point is to wear flannel and look sullen. Addendum: WEG's "The Price of Freedom," which for those unfamiliar was a shameless take on the original Red Dawn movie, might be set alongside this game for the reasons I set out in my first sentence...however, it's clear in that game that it is not to be taken entirely seriously, and that the writers understood what it was they were doing. Funny stuff, indeed. [/QUOTE]
