I don't play computer games, so this may be old news to everyone else, but
I thought it was interesting - http://www.slate.com/id/2109613/ - Of
course, you could argue just as easily that Paul Wolfowitz wrote the
humans' guide. The narrative seems awfully familiar: a "good" force,
convinced of its moral superiority, hacking through a faceless, undeterred
horde that's driven by religious fervor. Ahem. Halo 2's designers have
denied that their game was at all inspired by the Iraq war or that they're
taking any partisan stance. I think they're telling the truth.
