Hey Guzman, this was a great blog post! Didn't realize there were so many games about North Korea, and Homefront looks like it could be quite fun :). I think you're right in that S.Korea might ban it, but let's see...

Thank you Youngil! (sorry for the late reply, exams took away most of my time this month :P)

Just finished playing Crysis again to comfort myself that my laptop can't run Crysis2 (which doesn't have anything to do with our northern neighbours). Awesome game.

From that list games I had played but hadn't consciously picked up they were in/against/featuring NK:
A10, silent thunder (which, if you've ever heard the plane in question, is a total misnomer)
JSF
Falcon 4.0
which are, coincidentally, the only games in that list I've played.

 

I didn't really pay attention to the story lines of video games until recently.

 

What ratings did homefront end up scoring? I heard the single player campaign wasn't all that

Hi Wally and welcome to the group, it's always nice to see other gamers around :)

 

On Metacritic the game got a 70 average on critic (web+magazine) reviews, though analyzing the scores properly (that is not counting the outliers which are most likely biased) I believe it's more close to 75-80 than 70. As for the user score, I see too many "haters" voting 0, so the final result (6.2) is probably biased too.

 

I only played a few minutes at the local FNAC center, which had it on demo, it looked like a pretty solid shooter, but didn't feel very different from the rest of the shooters that are coming out these days. I'd say wait until its price goes down before buying.
