One doesn’t have to look too far or too long to find examples of the games I’m talking about: the “Medal of Honor” series; the “Call of Duty” series; the “Battlefield: X” series, just to name a few. Make no mistake, I do not have a problem with any of these games in terms of their actual gameplay. My problem is with their content.

This is going to be the longest article that I’ve written for Aelon but since I’ve not written one for a while I have a fair bit to make up. Since I am sure that many people reading this will not want to wade their way through the complete article I’m going to make things easy on you by providing an up-front conclusion. However, before this I’m going to provide a bit of background about what this article is and what it isn’t, plus a bit about me and how this has been achieved. I hope that this information will put the article into context and also give an indication of whether you should trust me.
