With a lot of consideration of war going on and Bush acting as mad as he always was ( I am not an anti-Americanist for all those Bushophiles out there)I find myself wondering whether developers are doing the right thing pushing out war games at a rate of knots. Sure they're fun, in a way, if you take no notice of current affairs, but is it the developers at fault or us?
If you have no idea what I'm talking about read on... ( that line sounds familiar...)
One could argue that developers are thoughtless, mindless beings for making violent, graphic games. But when you think about it, they're only doing it for the money they rake in from us, the Bloodthirsty General Public ( referred to as the B.G.P.) After all, it is us that fuel the making of such games. We buy and play them with such enjoyment that developers have no real choice but to make what's good for their income.
Are war games goood or bad? I say bad, but I am eager to her your opinions on the matter too.

I get you all right, but I odn't want to make daft moves if I can't hold the pieces in front of me. I want to see how stupid I look before the rest of the forum does.
The game starts on Tuesday!
