I actually suspected somebody might cry "racist!" when I saw it, but that's only because of our rediculous double-standards in political correctness. Resident Evil 4 was basically the same thing but in an eastern-european village; same thing different part of the world.

But on a non-race-related note, I'm still not cool with this new theme. At first I thought it was just a pretty scary lookin theme, but then I realized it was moreso because it struck a nerve as being something real. I mean there are, in real life, millions of people dying from tribes running around with machettes cutting off the heads of men, women, and children. That's some deeply disturbing shit as is, I think making the same terrifying reality into a videogame for us to play just aint cool. I know if I was in that situation, watching my friends and family getting slaughtered, I'd be pretty pissed off if millions of rich kids were playing at it like a game.



very true, and i agree with you on that.

but as we all know, people will make games, songs, books, and movies out of any event, tragic or not to profit from...

i'm still waiting to see "Flights of 9/11... Terrorist Missions" or some equal type crap....

oh and idon't mean waiting so i can buy it to tell you the truth, i'm honestly suprised it's been used as little as it has to monopolize the situation... (i mean yeah it's been used ALOT, but far less then i'd of ever expected)
