Nazis

So I was at my friends house and he brought up a nazi reference in the midst of an unrelated discussion. I called him out on Godwin's Law. And then thought about Nazis in games. There's a lot of nazi killing in games. And a lot of games about Nazis. Ill think of as many as I can.

Call of duty: world at war
Call of duty: Black Ops
Call of duty: Black Ops 2
Sniper Elite
Company of Heroes
Wolfenstein
Sniper Elite v2
Every Medal of Honor Game.
Battlefield: 1942
The Saboteur
Bionic Commando
Metro 2033

Really, there's just tons, and those are just the ones you can kill, theres plenty of Nazi related plots too.  People just absolutely love to kill Nazis.  It's like a video game past time, tried and true fun.  A Sniper v2 expansion pack even lets you shoot Hitler in the testicles.

You should actually just go check out that his YouTube Channel.  Robbaz is pretty amazing.


I think it's because as a society we've long been drawing a symbolism between Nazis and pure fucking evil.  And what's more fun than shooting pure fucking evil in the face?  Shooting lots of Nazis in the face, or lots of Zombies.   I'm not sure which ranks higher as 'most fun to kill' but I'm pretty sure they're in first and second place.  And then some huge FPS franchise had to go and combine the two to make the most addicting game ever.

I sincerely believe that there will never come another military group that will replace Nazis as the most entertaining thing to shoot at.
