Games Radar - DS news - Nintendo DS - Lumps of coal are better than these utterly disappointing gifts

America’s Army: True Soldiers (360)
To their credit, lumps of coal aren’t part of a marketing campaign run by the US government to promote army recruitment with a crappy game franchise. Unfortunately, the same thing can’t be said about America’s Army: True Soldiers. In this horrible excuse for a shooter, squad mates float along without moving their feet, the cover system is broken, and the AI will torture you with cheap headshots.

The worst part is that the game sells at full retail price, meaning you could have easily gotten a copy of Call of Duty 4 instead. The PC version of this piece of the army’s propaganda machine is free to download, making the sting of knowing that someone shelled out real money for this interactive army advertisement that much worse.

Throw STALKER and Crysis in there for good measure. I would seriously cry if I opened up any of those games listed on Xmas morning.

I tried that True Soldiers demo on Xbox live out of sheer boredom. It was seriously excruciating to play. It ended all thoughts of ever wanting to enlist into the Army.

lmao, i thought that game was shitty since it ever came out but people loved it. i just wouldn't say anything when people would be drooling over it...that one blowed. all the games there sucked, and yes crysis definitely belongs there.

On behalf of all past, present, and future NCOs, we thank you.

I just spent forever looking at all sorts of "top seven" - quite a few are rather humorous.
