With a new record-breaking Call Of Duty game released every year, some would say the military shooter genre is overdue a spot of parody.
Epic Games’ subsidiary Chair Entertainment has responded to the call beautifully – not with a blog post or some ‘whacky’ cartoon, but an actual game built to mock Activision’s sacred cow.
