I was going to post a new thread for this topic on a certain video game I saw, but after seeing this thread, I think it fits right in here as I think this particular one is one of those video games that "goes too far". Here, read this article for yourselves and see what you think regarding this
Battle Of Fallujah video game?
http://www.newsweek.com/id/200861?GT1=43002Personally, I think this type of subject as well as the one mentioned in posts above referring to Gitmo are NOT appropriate subjects for video games. I don't know maybe it is because the places are
real places and real events where people have suffered and perhaps died and I don't think that is appropriate topics for kids or adults in playing a game because to some soilder this was not play, it was real...maybe even life or death situations. Is nothing sacred or to be held in reverance any more? Maybe it is just because these events are so recent. I can sort of understand some games, etc., based on previous wars of long, long ago. Although I guess some people who lived that era may not like it so much either. Why can't there be games with a similar theme but without mentioning specific places, events, etc., sort of like anonoymous or something like that? Although I guess that wouldn't sell as well and make as much profit without using these names/subjects that are so well known and controversial during this current time period. Not my cup of tea though.
