Kevin from Denkiphile: "The war game has been a constant fixture in video games since the medium’s inception, and, as evidenced by the annual parade of military shooters we’ve been experiencing for the past half-decade or so, it’s clear that video games are a culture in love with the idea of war. When confronted with the realities of war however, games are all too quick to drown out the bad and replace it with feverish flag-waving, or rapid machine-gun fire and explosions. There is none of that in This War of Mine."
This War of Mine is part of the Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art
