Unique in its focus, this first book-length study of the symbolic meaning of weaponry in Latin America was published in Pittsburgh's long-standing Illuminations Series.
I genuinely wish more games were like this.Modernity at Gunpoint provides a critical inquiry into the relationship between war, technology, and society by analyzing armed conflicts in Mexico and Central America from 1910 to the present.
It keeps itself to a baseline that is squarely a good one. That is what makes it so very palatable and easy to like. It’s enjoyable, nothing less, little more. It’s short but sweet, it doesn’t bore and doesn’t frustrate. It’s a puzzle platformer with a noir/spy aesthetic. Gunpoint is one of those games that knows exactly what it wants to be and doesn’t overstep those boundaries. So you can connect a light switch to a trapdoor, then flick it when a guard walks across to make him fall through. It lets you see how all the security devices in a level are wired up, and then you can just click and drag with the mouse to wire them differently. To get past security, you’ll need to make creative use of your main gadget: the Crosslink. You play a freelance spy who takes jobs from his clients to break into high- security buildings and steal sensitive data. Gunpoint is a stealth puzzle game that lets you rewire its levels to trick people.
