Statement? (Score 1)

I don't see how either of the examples sited can be said to be a "statement." People are just used to games being unrealistic. In 2000, no one made a fuss about the fact that the creators of "Deus Ex" decided to destroy both the WTC and the Statue of Liberty in terrorist attacks for their storyline. Why? Because it was unrealistic. Every gamer has done quite a few things in games that are just "unacceptable." You know, killing civilians in every FPS ever made, sniping the Sarge at Boot Camp in HL: OF, killing marines in Halo. You know, the stuff out mothers warned us not to do...So what's wrong with DEFENDING the twin towers? Sure, if you fail, they're destroyed...Until you start a new game. I see no statement being made. I only see the reality we embrace in out television and movies bleeding over into video games. What's wrong with that?
