Am I allowed to call a game's version of alternate history as rubbish ?

For example,if a game has an alternate history plot i.e an important event in history was altered but the game's world map remains the same?

Is it against the rules to call any video/computer game's alternate history using the word rubbish because of copyright or anything like that or is it just forbidden in the rules to use the word rubbish because it is might be considered offensive?

No, feel free to speak your mind here. Just don't do any overtly personal attacks on people, but political beliefs are fair game. What game do you consider rubbish?

I have a feeling it may be either of the Red Alert games, as for some absurd reason they don't change the world maps.

Exactly!

Too illogical for my taste.

Though personally I think Red Alert 1, at least (though certainly not Red Alert 2) is fairly realistic for a game AH. It's only the maps that let them down. And RA1 does have the excuse that the map is so stylised that it's frankly quite hard to tell (though I wouldn't bet on it being the right borders).

I love Red Alert 2. It wasn't aiming to be realistic, its a satiare.

They're not. As far as I can tell, it's from the early 1990's, but with a united Yugoslavia.

Damn right! Or someone who tears the Pentagon down with 30+ guys with machine guns.
