I wonder if video games can ever do the politically-charged anti-war messages of the film medium (thinking of movies like Body of Lies and others). Games have done anti-war tacks before, as you're probably pretty well aware of with MGS4, but its never very political or grounded in the present day. MGS4 used the mideast and Cold War Russia as settings but not really to provide commentary. If Six Days was a real anti-war game, that would be something incredible. Interesting.

That made me sick to my stomach. American soldiers' dead bodies were dragged through the streets and thousands of Somalis died as well, so it seemed more than a bit fucked up to be reliving those events for entertainment purposes.
