Thanks ShackNews
John Tynes has an article up entitled "Why We Fight," in which he examines the whole mentality behind games about war or other situations employing lethal methods for specifically political means. He mentions games like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Wolfenstein, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, and so on. After pointing out that as a longtime gamer with countless kills to his name he is a member of the audience he describes, he suggests that one reason such games are so popular is because of their ability to let the player excercise the sort of absolute uncompromising force most of us don't have in the real world unless we happen to be dictators of fascist states.
