2This video covers the infamous 2009 title Rogue Warrior and what choices Rebellion made in adapting the writing of Navy SEAL Richard "Dick" Marcinko as well as the version of the game originally announced under Zombie Studios and celebrating Jim Reilly of IGN who is the main reason I knew about this game and had always wanted to try it out myself.
