Has anyone noticed that most (not all) games are about americans and the english kicking the ass of communism...

I vote we create a game where it happens the other way round... china vs england... russia vs united states of america...

Anyone come up with a good name?

To be honest I have not noticed this trend, only a few games, like strategy red alert have I noticed this trend.

Do you mean first person shooter or shoot 'em ups? cos last time I played a shoot 'em up it was kicking the arse off alien scum

Of course - that's the way it should be. I don't think having it the other way round would sell many games here or in the US.
