From The Press Release

New York (June 29, 2006)Maintaining industry supremacy by fusing cutting edge gaming technologies with current affairs, Kuma Reality Games announced today the release of KumaWar’s 75th episode, “The Death of Zarqawi." Realistically simulating the bold strike that killed al-Queda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, this latest mission transports players deep behind enemy lines in the middle-east conflict, allowing comprehensive access to the military strategies that brought down the most wanted man in Iraq. A captivating 3D video game re-creating the events surrounding the June 7th strike, “The Death of Zarqawi” is now in an open Beta period and is available for free public download at KumaWar (www.kumagames.com).

Created within two weeks of the real-life bombing, this extraordinary episode allows gamers to join the U.S.-led coalition stationed just outside the house where al-Zarqawi is meeting with other insurgent leaders and choose between two strategies of attack: calling-in the real-life air strike that killed Zarqawi, or an alternate on-foot ambush which involves storming the guarded house and attempting to capture the terrorist leader alive.


We see gaming content taken from real life situations almost all the time. World War games seem to be some of the United States hottest sellers. So what are you views on games that recreate current events? Many feel media should keep a "too soon" approach when it comes to these issues, but what about video games? Where is the line? 2old2play would like you to share your comments.

Remember this is not about political affiliation so keep your comments on track with the games itself.
