Games That Stick It To The Man

Posted by Zonk on Monday February 6, 2006 @06:36AM from the take-that-business-figurehead dept.

News.com has a piece looking at subversive games with social commentary. The article discusses some titles that hit back against some of the frustrating trends in the industry today. Anti-advergames, specifically one striking out at McDonalds, are mentioned. From the article: "'Behind every sandwich, there is a complex process you must learn to manage,' Molleindustria said in a statement. 'From the creation of pastures to the slaughter, from the restaurant management to the branding. You'll discover all the dirty little secrets that made (McDonald's) one of the biggest companies (in) the world.' Neither McDonalds nor Kinko's responded to multiple requests for comment" More commentary from Guardian Gamesblog on the subject.

Hell, over the course of history christians have killed and tortured at least as many people in the name of their religion as muslims have.

Actually more than you might think, dating back to the Christian Roman Empire under Ceasar Constantine. They slaughtered millions of people wouldn't convert, and that was just the begining. I won't even get into the Crusades, or Inquisition. Too much blood.... Why do you think the dark ages were the dark ages?

Religion, it seems, gives the fools an excuse to do foolish things. How annoying...
