It would be a surprise if videogames did not make use of these events and settings. It should be no surprise, then, that depictions of current conflicts can be found in videogames. The use of cutting-edge media in the representation, even glorification, of war and conflict is almost as old as civilisation itself. Or just as possibly a description of the carving of Rameses II at the siege of the Dapur, which can still be seen at his mortuary temple, the Ramesseum. A description of a scene from the latest first person shooter (FPS)? Perhaps. No problem son.Defeated enemies surround the hero, the mound of dead bodies evidence of the savagery of the fight. Get the hell off my machine and stop contaminating my software.
Your units have worse pathfinding skills than a bunch of blind boy scouts, and you’ve made Full Metal Jacket star R Lee Ermey’s commentary sound like he’s an over-acting idiot. Well it’s just as well there’s something going for you, because you’ve got more bugs than a cheap treacle-covered whore trapped in an ants’ nest. Sir, I've got everything from special units to nuclear weapons, and all the latest US ground, air and sea technology sir. Well bung me out with a shit-stained toilet brush, I do believe we’ve finally found something you’re good at Private Real War, tell me more. Sir, I’ve got over 60 authentic units sir.
Well we’ve never seen one of these before have we? A collection of predictable building upgrades thrown together with less thought than was put into thinking of your name. I suppose next you’ll be telling me there are extensive tech trees. What else have you got soldier? Sir, two campaigns (US or ILA) and a skirmish mode sir. What the hell are these? Those tanks look like the kind of mess left by your thumb after you’ve stopped using it to pick your arse and tried to master finger-painting. Show me your graphics (looks at screenshots). Well that's what it seems like to me soldier. Never have I seen such a blatant attempt to exploit a war for the purposes of selling a game. Really? Looks to me like you’re a pathetic excuse for an RTS, released criminally unfinished to cash in on a current world conflict. And what are you soldier? Sir, I’m an isometric-cum-3D RTS, based around a conflict between the USA and a terrorist organisation called the ILA sir. What’s your name soldier? Sir, Real War sir.
