This is Jason sent me this article about how you’re playing the bad guys in Gears of War.

According to the article titled Why You’re Actually Playing as the Bad Guys in Gears of War:

“Brave humans battling valiantly for the bright future of their world against a soulless alien horde? Not at all. Arrogant human invaders trying vainly to maintain their stranglehold on an abused and suppressed planet. That’s more like it. Read on to find out why we’ve been playing the bad guys all along.”

So, it turns out the humans aren’t the victims of colonization and oppression–the Locusts are.

While playing the game, I wasn’t thrilled about being a “cog” in a machine anyway.  At least I didn’t get a tattoo of the GOW equivilant of a swastika on my arm.  Idiot.
