Ubisoft has told Eurogamer that the new America's Army game won't be coming to Europe.
Instead, the Xbox 360 game will be heading exclusively to the US in September. It's a similar situation to last year, when the PS2 Army game, Rise of a Soldier, quietly disappeared from the European release schedule.
Propaganda. It's that thing that's all around us and is probably bad for you, but no one gives a shit, except for one man because he's all out of gum: [audience laughs]. Okay, that probably wasn't a John Oliver-worthy opening, but propaganda in video games is real and has influenced many a game since the inception of the industry itself.
Ah, America. I hear it’s the land of the free and the home of the Whopper. Sure, it’s in somewhat deep shit over PRISM and several other scandals, but you can’t help but respect it for at least trying to make those scandals possible.
With that out of the way, it’s Independence Day here in the United States. You’re more likely to find a barbecue than productivity this time of year, so in the spirit of things, our reviews editor Andrew Esposito and I have decided to compile our top 3 patriotic games. These are games that will make Lady Liberty herself blush with shame for her relative lack of patriotism.
Freedom Fighters says hello! Such a short sighted list. It should be at least number 3 on that list. Metal Gear feels a lot more Japanese than American.
Notable mention for the most American games ever:
- Ford vs Chevy
- Assassin's Creed 3
- Counter Strike
- Scarface: The World is Yours
- Cabela's franchise
- Saints Row the Third
- Mortal Kombat
- Call of Duty franchise
P.S. Murica!!!
Freedom Fighters was on the list. Fantastic game! It was 2, top 3 lists. Freedom Fighters came in at #2 on one of them :)
Most gamers are quick to ridicule unfair game design situations, but why have we allowed this boom to continue anyway?
Sense
Makes sense, why would anyone else in the world want to play as America's Army?
I mean there are plenty of Japan only games why not a US only game
it does make sense.
Americas Army "online war training"
their not trying to train the rest of the world.
Maybe they want to shoot at insurgents....
Or pretend they're on the same side as the most powerful force in the history of mankind?
Yea it doesn't matter though, the ps2 game wasn't even that good.
