In my research for my latest uni assignment on media misrepresenting the youth I read an article about how perhaps games will be free one day, like TV shows, and just have tons of ads in them.. Could be the way of the future.. if only!

When I first read the title though I thought maybe Capcop were going to make you pay for what characters you want to use, like Battlefield Bad Company
