War games
Kuma Reality offers you the chance to fight the battles in Iraq yourself. I’m personally tired of turning on the news everyday and seeing so much tragedy over there. Why do we need game’s that exploit the current wars? Does anybody feel this concept is a good idea?
“Kuma Reality Games, a Manhattan-based maker of downloadable computer games, has lately offered another option: you can refight the battles yourself, from the comfort of your couch. In the last 18 months the company has churned out more then 50 games set on the ground in such war zones (as well as a popular re-creation of a Vietnam War Swift boat mission involving John Kerry; it was released before the election last fall). Kuma manages this – in an industry where games typically take millions of dollars and several years to produce – by working the way studios produce television shows.”
