Blog #12: New PS3 sci-fi action RPG heads to 'Mars'

Blog #12. You know, I was just thinking how nice it was when we could write about anyhting we wanted. Ah, the good old days. As in a few months ago. Blog #12: Find a text about imperialsim or colonization. Now, this blog actually made me have to look. By typing "impearialism" and "colonization" in a search box. There was only 1 videogame realted article. That's it! Not good enough. Mars is a future PS3/PC sci-fi rpg coming out, that I've never heard of, that takes place...on Mars. Oh, and the colonization piece of it: 'The game takes place 200 years after the colonization of Mars. Inexplicably, the orbit of Mars is altered, causing a communications breakdown with Earth and exposing the inhabitants to solar radiation.' Yep. Now, this is actually fairly interesting. If we tried to colonize mars, would it negatively affect us? Could Mars actually be physically altered by our presence there (i.e: orbit changing)? If we did have the ability to colonize Mars, would we consider the outcome? I personally believe (in order): Maybe, yes, and most definently not. So, either way, no matter what...Earth is screwed.
