Game: AR Defender 2

War is a monstrous, horrific business. That said, playing at war can be fun as long as no-one is hurt for real—but while fake war is the preferable alternative, it still tends to feel kind of plastic and sanitized. Isn't there any middle ground to be had, here? As it turns out, there is. AR Defender 2 for iOS and Android is an augmented reality title that plunks you in the center of a war that feels more real than most video game battles, but you don't need to fear getting picked off by flying bullets.
