Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Medal of Honor are among some of the MOST popular games right now, meaning that war is also on the forefront of a lot of gamer's minds. However, games like Call of Duty choose to portray war in a very specific fashion, specifically, one that presumably makes it "fun." But should games like Call of Duty and Battlefield do more than that? Should they be held accountable for what they choose to portray, as well as how they choose to portray it? And if so, how can these games do a better job at portraying at least some of the complexity of modern warfare? Watch this week's episode of Game/Show and find out!
