For all those naysayers who want to diss PRESIDENT Bush and his administration, shame on you! You should be GLAD that he did what he did! His actions have spared us a lot of trouble over those eight years instead of having to stave off waves of attacks. And now, under MISTER Obama, he’s let some of those bastards go and what happens? They go back into circulation to commit more acts of terror and destruction. Gee, what a great plan for national security he has!

Everybody thinks that Obama is a panacea. WRONG! One can always count on liberal Democraps to do the WRONG thing when they think they’re right. Just watch what happens after this year, we’re going to be in deep trouble for his inexperience and inability to have a real plan. At least Bush HAD A PLAN and put it to action!

If anything, criticism should be aimed at the game makers because this only smacks of money grubbing and profiteering. Do they think that this is funny? I guess they sympathize with the terrorists because who else would consort with their ilk? I guess they have an agenda to brainwash the teenagers and young adults into believing that it was wrong to detain those who are affiliated with terrorist organizations. That’s their other agenda – besides making a buck off of you leftist liberals!

Guantanamo Bay video game in development, former detainee hired to make it ‘more realistic.’By Ryan Powers on Jun 1st, 2009 at 2:51 pm Guantanamo Bay video game in development, former detainee hired to make it ‘more realistic.’
A British video game development firm is in the process of creating a video game based on the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. Entitled “Gitmo: Rendition,” the game “depicts the prison in the near future — after its anticipated closing by the U.S. government — as a camp run by mercenaries who detain innocents sold off to their captors to serve as ‘lab rats’ in scientific experiments.” The game’s developer hired Moazzam Begg — a “British Muslim who was detained at the American military base at Guantanamo Bay for three years” before being released uncharged — as an adviser to help make the game “more realistic.” Begg and seven other Britons detained by the U.S. recently sued the British government, “claiming U.K. authorities were complicit in their abductions, detention and interrogations.” Watch the game trailer:

Go move to the mideast if you don’t like it here in the US!

You cannot be serious! You mean like Dachau has become a part of German history? Somehow, I don’t think we want to enshrine the sadism and torture (still illegal) of Gitmo as a part of our heritage. I am just sick of the violence and killing that is fed to our kids through video games, and can’t believe this shameful episode in our “heritage” will be available to every eager, undiscerning kid who doesn’t have a clue what it was really all about….as Americans, we lost our collective soul when we allowed Gitmo to exist. I suppose that’s not such a big deal to you. Well, it is to me…it’s a sad day when I see such a dispicable part of our warmongering put on display to the world and for sale to all comers.

The best president we ever had was Bush. He kept you pinky worthless ass safe for 7 years

Umm…
… You forgot to count year One.

Q U E S T I O N:
Did George W. Bush keep America safe, his first year in Office?

I think even Jimmy Carter has a better record at keeping America safe than Bush II ever did, NO?

Video games, like the photograph, started off in bleak disposition compared to the more traditional media of the time. However, games convey emotion/art/philosophy just as well as movies/paintings/print. They are gaining validity as a proper story telling medium/artform, especially around the college campus. You shouldn’t immediately disregard something because it is in the form of a game. Stay open minded.

Also, take a look at the developer; This isn’t your megabux EAgames conglomerate. The game is set to release fall 09 and there are no action/in-game clips in the trailer yet (and is slightly crude). I don’t suspect that making a fortune off this is one of the creators’ primary motives.

When TP posted links to those abu ghraib prison photos the other day I was thinking to myself. The last photo in the gallery looked too much like the last fps zombie shooter I played. The profusely bloody prisoner dragged out of the cell covered the walls and floors. Actually fairly horrifying to be forced to think about it. Maybe a game would enlighten broader audience to the situation.

The eagerness of the capitalists in the United States to make a buck off anything (reality TV, anyone?) they can knows no bounds…and no modicum of good sense.

Hmm- I don’t see it that way. Here is why: video games are a form of media, they are a form of communication. Gitmo has become part of our history, part of America’s heritage. I certainly don’t like that part, but its true.

And just like other moments of our heritage, WW2, Vietnam, “The 1960s”, Grunge music, Studio 54, and so on, it will be documented in media. What is interesting to me is that a video game will tackle it before film.

In full disclosure, I produce video games. Not anything like this, and I wouldn’t play this, but video games are certainly starting to cover as wide a ground as movies. You can bet that a movie about Gitmo will come out in given time. Guess the game came out first….
