![]() Best Use of Taxpayers' Dollars At GameSpot, gaming is more important to us than anything else. So if the government is going to spend some of our tax dollars on game development, then you won't hear us complaining. At any rate, we're really not entirely kidding when we present the award for Best Use of Taxpayers' Dollars to:
Publisher: US Army Developer: US Army Download the game »
America's Army: Operations has no business being as good as it is, considering it's a thinly veiled attempt to get you to enlist in the armed forces and is therefore decidedly creepy at some level. The development of this freely available multiplayer shooter was funded by about 7 million of the American public's dollars. Expensive, perhaps, but America's Army: Operations is also one of this year's best multiplayer shooters. So in all honesty, we're impressed, and in all honesty, we wouldn't mind seeing this trend continue. Hey, we're editors for GameSpot, not The Economist. Sure, there's probably some other good cause that $7 million really could have helped, but the development of great games is something we can definitely get behind.
