I certainly thought that CoD:Black Ops was propoganda being proffered by a cold war conspiracy theorist. And it was hilarious.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

JB: I like the concept of a free Shrike roaming through the treetops of the jungle. I'm not sure that I like the idea of a real Shrike sitting on my couch eating my Skittles.
corpsesarefun: Thank god I missed be nice to shrike day.
greenskin lynn: because of all the skittles and soda, you basically live off sugar water, like some sort of freakish human-hummingbird hybrid. |

In halo you run around and shoot things ad infinatum. Ditto for CoD. Both were overhyped and brought nothing new to their genres. Atleast TES was revolutionary for RPGs at the time.
I think we get that you don't like FPSs. I'd say that Halo AND CoD have brought some major fundamental change to shooters since the days of Doom and Quake. Also, Gears of War definitely brought about change in the genre for third person shooters (was there even good third person shooters before GoW?).

Ok, I'm curious, how is BO Propaganda? I haven't played it, so generally curious.
Also; Bioshock 2's multiplayer is dominate.

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying. |

Dunno, I thought it more parody of cold war propaganda than actual propaganda.

In your base, ignoring your logic.

I have to say that it was a parody, an OTT parody. If you watch the ending right after you beat the game there's NAVY ships everywhere and jets are flying overhead and epic music is playing. When you're choking Dragovich in the end Mason says "Tried to make me kill my own president." and I can swear that Dragovich says "Right" in a manner like "I know right?"

GRAW2 is the best 13$ you will ever spend.
(Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2)
13$ used at gamestop 
A very good 3rd person shooter.
