With people sitting on either side of the fence with the “Violence in video games” debate, I’ve always been one to say that it has no bearing whatsoever on personal choices. Killing someone in a game does not make me want to kill someone in real life. Not once has a choice in a game given me pause...

When I told my brother I would be getting this game for review he quickly told me it was similar to the Gears of War series and I was elated.
