E3 2014 Tom Clancy's The Division Tugs at the Heart Strings in Story Trailer
Hits home
When we saw Tom Clancy's The Division at last year's E3 conference, it taught us to get along with our friends in order to screw others and rob their loot.

War, huh – what is it good for?
Military shooters are dime a dozen these days, so it's nice to see a studio take a different approach to the ubiquitous subject matter.
