I can't argue against them putting those two games ahead of Dominion, considering how good they were and how they appeal to many more people. But it is very nice to see this game get its due props.

So who wants to bet on which game will get Banned first when John Kerry or some other Democrat gets elected president of the United States...

-Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (carjacking, brutal murder)
-Counterstrike (half the players are fekking TERRORISTS)
-Dominions 2 (sacrifice of virgins; holy war)

Let's guess which game will be endorsed if Bush got elected. Heck! Let's guess which game they're playing right now .

Probably Command & Conquer. It's most obviously not something like Sim City, which requires an understanding of economics and social responsibility. And most certainly not Civilization, which entails at least a modicum of diplomacy, nevermind significant amounts of anticorruption and environmental cleanup.

I hope he's just playing "Conquest: Middle East" rather than "Conquest: Earth". But you never know... fortunately, it doesn't look like he'll make it past "Stage 2: Iraqi Sands".

Edit: On the other hand, let's all hope it's not "Total Annihilation".

On further thought, I doubt it. He's much more likely to have never even seen it, having been weaned on Monopoly, and later, Risk.
