As you've already said, there's always going to be an element of exploration, of provocation. What I'm saying, however, is that we should perhaps be a little more aware, and a little more critical of what's being presented in some games. In the case of topical war games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honor, we should consider the possibility of political rhetoric and/or agendas, and question these.
