It’s the Fourth of July, which means that – for our American readers, at least – it’s the day we mark as when the United States officially cast off the rule of King George III and declared our independence.
<aside>The vote to do so was actually held on July 2nd, but the 4th was the day that famed Declaration of Independence was adopted by Congress so it could eventually be stolen by Nicholas Cage (for its own protection, of course).</aside>
Regardless, we here got to thinking about how video games have become such a prevalent form of entertainment in the US (yes, across the rest of the world as well, but it’s our birthday so it’s gonna be about us today), and how so many games have chosen to use the good ol’ US of A as a backdrop – both literally and metaphorically – to tell their stories. So, before we leave to don our best, most ostentatious red, white and blue getup and gather ’round someone’s laptop or phone for the traditional Watching of Bill Pullman Talking About Aliens, here are some of our picks for the Most American™ games of all time.
