Christmas Present for Teen Obsessed with Cold War - 11/16/12 04:45 PM
I'm looking for a game that is more intellectually challenging than most shooters and that has a Cold War spy theme or at least has that feel to it.
What I'm trying to describe is not the sort of game that interests me but I vaguely recall there was a recent one.
Shooter elements are fine. The teenager in question is currently playing the one that has David Petraeus and Oliver North as characters and the USS Barack Obama as a ship. He's also playing another in which the player takes the role of head of security for a corporation in a world where I gathered nation states have dissolved into multiple corporate fiefdoms.
Any thoughts? I'm looking for worlds as described in the the first paragraph with an emphasis on the intellectual and intuitive challenges adventure gamers treasure.
