From a review of the upcoming Xbox game “Freedom Fighters”:
Set in an alternate reality wherein the Soviet Union has won the Cold War and invaded the United States for a communist takeover, the game takes place on the front lines: a battle-scarred New York City overrun with tanks, turrets, and a cornucopia of hammer-and-sickle-flavored propaganda. Cut-scenes and news broadcasts tell the story of an invading Pinko government “concerned for years by the plight of poor American people suffering under a corrupt regime,” and genuinely interested in “restoring peace and stability to your troubled country.”
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. But I should be used to that by now, shouldn’t I?
