From said review:

Tom Chick, his horizons broadened wrote:

tangled somewhere in the soundscape is a woman sobbing. It's one of the more unsettling things you'll hear in a computer game. Why did Introversion put that in there? What does it mean? You're about to incinerate 4.6 million people in London by launching an ICBM from somewhere near Kinshasa. Introversion thought it would be a good idea if you heard a single anguished sob from someone's mother, sister, or wife? Why? From a less imaginative developer, Defcon would be all about the cool detachment of watching a screen presumably from the safety of some bunker deep underground. And yet here's a sob heard around the world and three miles down.


OMFG! A soundtrack featuring a woman/baby crying? Never has a computer game unsettled me more.

That's the other thing I don't get about this introversion cocksuckery. Why does everyone work themselves into a froth looking for nonexistent biblical or Stanley Kubrick themes?
