You've watched the fireworks. You've eaten your hot dogs, hamburgers, and consumed copious amounts of beer (or soda, if you're not the type who drinks). You've celebrated our nation's independence at your local park, the local ballpark, or even your own backyard. And now it's time to wrap up this celebration of our nation's independence by looking at five games that honor it.

The Shacknews video crew has compiled the list of the five best games that honor our country's independence, the spirit of revolution, and the overall concept of freedom! Because what is America, if not freedom?

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

        I'm not sure if Fallout and BioShock really *celebrate* independence, revolution, and freedom...
