'The Most Anti-War War Game I've Ever Played'
There's a "reprehensible message" underlying most war-themed video games: "Killing foreigners on behalf of one's country is one hell of a good time." But Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is "a first-person shooter that plays as a tragedy, not a power fantasy[,]  … a murder simulator that won't let you forget the nature of your actions."
