Those who like to experience intense, exaggerated U.S. military combat scenarios but hate having to bother reaching for the XBox controller at last have a new method of special ops simulation that requires far less aggressive thumb movement. It's the movie Act of Valor, and as it's Call of Duty-esque name implies, it is basically a non-interactive, Navy SEALs-themed first person shooter.

Welp, time to enlist, everyone.
