VW unveils slippery four-seat hybrid

If by "joy" you mean the unbridled adrenaline rush of terror, then yes, I believe it would be!

Activision denies Modern Warfare 2 Russian ban

This level is disturbing ...

I played MW2 over the weekend and "stumbled" into this level (didn't hear or know about this level beforehand). And while I'm normally very indifferent to these controversies, this particular scene was more than a little disturbing. You are part of a gang that is simply shooting/killing unarmed people as they crawl on the floor, run away, or maybe even be begging for mercy. The body count is quite likely in the hundreds.

Blowing it off as being merely a video game ignores the problem with this level -- it endorses the notion that it is OK to randomly and mercilessly kill people under certain circumstances. The circumstances here are that you are committing murder on a relatively "small" scale in order to infiltrate a Russian mob to prevent some ambiguous large scale threat in the future.

Spoiler Alert: Your cover was blown already, the mob boss kills you (an American) at the end of the spree so that the Americans get blamed for the massacre.
