This article is a review of the game I chose for project two, I don't really agree with the reviewers stand point on the negativity of the gamers experience while playing. The game challenged me, kept me entertained and interested throughout the entire period. Though the manner in which the game is played could be viewed as played out and as overdone I find the situation refreshing and ethically challenging. The reviewer does in fact express his points thoroughly and articulately.

The second article was one about Bono's involvement in Pandemic Studios, the parent company of Mercenaries 2. The game presents Venezuela in a not so flattering light and the author of the article presents valid points on such relationships. The information to thoroughly cover all bases on this article was presented neatly and openly remaining as objective as possible.
