Tiberius Rising Tiberius Rising Chapter 18

Wait, that's really the plot of the game? I've never played it.

Well you only kill terrorists for the first couple chapters and even then they aren't really terrorists. They're more like survivors who have had to resort to this kind of thing because of the game's plot, but that's another thing about the game. You kill them because its a shooter so you should probably be killing Arabs. Right? It's kinda rubbing it in your face when you look back at it.

It changes like 4 chapters in and then you start fighting the Damned 33rd, Americans who've defected. The game treats you like you're the hero early on but the more you go through it the story starts throwing it in your face that the hero, Walker, has Schizophrenia from PTSD and everything you're actually playing though may or may not be what's actually happening. It uses it to great effect to say fuck you to people like Jace who play games like these going in thinking they'll be a hero. Even the fucking loading screens start calling you out on your bullshit halfway through the game.

"Do you feel like a hero yet?"

Art imitates.... umm... bad writing I guess.

Its based on Heart of Darkness, which was in turn the base for Apocalypse Now.
Zero Punctuation does a good job of reviewing it, for those people who can stand ZP. (I know Yahtzee isn't everybody's cup of tea.)
