The ruckus started when it emerged that a level of the new video game "Call of Duty 2" contained a scenario in which you were invited and encouraged to massacre innocent civilians at a Russian airport in 'gruesome detail'.
Well, of course the game's producer would have you believe that it was awesomely stunningly realistic, and I have to admit, they've got face and skin details and textures down to an extremely fine art in the opening gambit, but thankfully the rest of it is really not shockingly convincing, even if it does start by being extremely uncomfortable, once the initial shock and disgust has subsided, the dull monotony of a first person shooter quickly kicks back in.
But what's with the music? Why do I feel like I'm participating in a modern day 'Das Prisoner?' Why does this feel like a massive psychological experiment to see if I can cope with the modern and shocking environment of terror? And, if I was put to the test, would I too administer lethal doses of electric voltage to my fellow classmates if the lecturer told me to?
Well. OK, go on then. Twist my arm ;P
