Christ, not another shooter from the American perspective. Why aren't there any war games from the perspective of Iraqi's or those fighting for Afghanistan.

 

Umm, because Al Qaeda's games just don't have very good marketing.

What's funny? They used a more flattering picture of Bush than the western media

 

Go play that DTG



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

@Steven787: Of course they have that type of game. A war is always between two sides. It's not because our enemy is barbaric and using propaganda to pursue their agenda that we need to do the same.

@Griffin: Took from wikipedia:

"Alhough there is no evidence that the CIA directly supported the Taliban or Al Qaeda, some basis for military support of the Taliban was provided when, in the early 1980s, the CIA and the ISI (Pakistan's Interservices Intelligence Agency) provided arms to Afghans resisting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the ISI assisted the process of gathering radical Muslims from around the world to fight against the Soviets. Osama Bin Laden was one of the key players in organizing training camps for the foreign Muslim volunteers. The U.S. poured funds and arms into Afghanistan, and "by 1987, 65,000 tons of U.S.-made weapons and ammunition a year were entering the war."[16]"

I didn't state my opinion about the game; just about the marketing of it.  DTG is here wanting to play it and he doesn't know that it exists, so I gave him the heads up.

I will say: this is another reason why free-market capitalism with a free consumer base wins.  Go west!
