Well, nice to see the bad guys speak Korean…

This will probably not be included in the “Second Korean Wave.” I’m also guessing it won’t endear it to the authorities.

2 Demo February 19, 2011 at 10:23 am: More like a plot for mediocracy.
3 SimonSays February 19, 2011 at 10:24 am: Don’t forget Crysis where the bad guys are North Koreans and aliens!
4 bumfromkorea February 19, 2011 at 10:55 am: Aw, I was hoping for better voice acting for the North Koreans. I still can’t get over North Korean soldiers exclaiming “나쁜놈!” whenever I try to run them over with a jeep in Mercenaries.
5 Robert Koehler February 19, 2011 at 2:09 pm: The voice acting in Mercenaries was pretty good, even if they screwed up the “Hanguk/Joseon” terminology…
6 Acropolis7 February 19, 2011 at 6:47 pm: Robert Mercenaries was pretty good all around when it came to a possible plot concerning the Korean Peninsula involving PRC, ROK, Russia and U.S. The fact that Homefront however goes beyond absurd when it comes to the DPRK, a foriegn tiny nation the size of Indiana at most , taking over the United States. It is a more logical concept that the planet Mercury would destroy the Sun before the Sun’s Implosion. Still, maybe the game will be good. Speking of games, is there anyword yet from within DPRK borders that the people have access to videogame consoles by now?

We know MP3 players are know readily available along with DVDs. I still yet to read an article about videogame console usage in North Korea, even among the elite youth.

If Koreans ever reached this far then America is pretty much finish. Going against to better armed & trained & organized Korean army with bunch of civilian insurgency is pretty much like David vs Goliath in non-Biblical theme.
