Fresh Prince vs. KKK: Flash Game

Fresh Prince vs. KKK: Flash Game

Categories: SHOTS/BLURBS, web games Permalink

Here's a game I found on That video game site created by Tony & Matt St Leger.

My opinion of this game is split. While I think that it's a good premise for a game, particularly since I found it while searching specifically for a game that would allow me to fight the KKK, I still can't help but feel that it simultaneously uses some tired racist tropes. Then again, maybe not, as spinning-razor-guns aren't stereotypically employed by African Americans and are more reminiscent of Bond movies.


I can't help but wonder if The Fresh Prince vs. the KKK is maintaining racist tropes while (literally figuratively) fighting racism...?

    After recently starting Final Fantasy XIII, I decided it was time to revisit Final Fantasy X-2. Having only watched another play this game, I have long since decided never to endure a play-through on my own. With its Hannah Montana-esque plot, ridiculous costume change system and in-battle singing, watching FFX-2 effectively drained me of all wonder or concern over X's main protagonist, Tidus.

    Stockholm is an interactive DVD in which you play a sadistic and creepy (even though it's first person) kidnapper. The point, as the name may suggest, is to get your captor to fall in love with you. This goal is to be accomplished through fear using torture, rape, forced nudity, suffocation, gassing, etc. Charming.
