Every few years or so I get sucked into a new multiplayer networked game and blow a ton of my free time killing things. Well, this year it happens to be Metal of Honor by Electronic Arts. Damn, this thing is addictive. With seven rotating environments and the choice between being an Ally or Nazi in World War II, my post-work | pre-gym/home time has been swallowed up by this classic shoot ‘em up.

And let me tell you, there’s nothing like sniping an English private from 100 yards to bring a smile to my face. Somebody needs to come up with an Irish Republican Army vs. England game. Or a game where the Irish peasants in 1846 strategically supply the English ruling class with rotten potatoes, making them sick and weak so they can be overrun by peasants with rakes and hoes.

I’d be all over those. So it’s not politically correct. I’d buy it. Sue me.
