Chad Betteridge of The Bitbag writes: "It's your typical cold winter day in Canada as I make my way down the icy sidewalk towards my destination. I arrive at the establishment's glass doors and enter to the sensation of fresh popcorn's scent entering my nose. This is my hometown's only movie and video game rental store, and I've spent nearly all of my 15 years of gaming (5/6 of my entire life) as a customer of the place. I walk half of the huge open space and find myself before a familiar sight, the newest video game releases. I glance up and see some of the latest names like Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2, and various other games that are probably sequels, but none of these are the game I am looking for. As I walk along the rack what I have come for finally catches my eye. I remove the small red octagon token from its Velcro base and bring it up to the cash. The game I have rented is Pandemic's final effort, the World War II third person action-adventure noire game that goes by the name of The Saboteur. How many days did I rent it for? Two. All I need is two days. Why you ask? Because The Saboteur is the story of an Allied war hero who seems to have a talent for taking bullets to the face without dying and who will no doubt singlehandedly take down a huge chunk of the Axis forces. Yeah, I think I've heard this before."
