    Recently there's been an influx of commercials for this game on TV, at least during the shows that I watch. I could rant about how unnerving it is that the U.S. Army helped develop a war video game, but I'm even more upset by the game's tagline:

OUR GAME DEVELOPERS DON'T RELY ON IMAGINATION

    I know the ad wizards who put that out there must think it's a brilliant line, but it's fucking pathetic. If game lacks imagination, what's the point of playing it? Jack Thompson, a prominent video game activist and general douchebag, would be quick to label America's Army as nothing more than "a murder sim". And while he says that about virtually every game that comes out, he might actually be right this time.
