JFK Reloaded Game

[iluvdeals]

A British firm seeking to capitalize on the anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's murder today is issuing ``JFK Reloaded,'' a purportedly educational ``docu-game'' that lets players fire the fatal shots from the Texas Book Depository over and over again.

I couldn't believe this when I heard it. A video game where the player becomes JFK's assassin.
What angers me the most is that they don't want Americans to be upset about the game.
I wonder what they would think if we made a game about Diana's death. :hmm:

My 2 cents.

There is a huge difference between Grand Theft Auto - Vice City and this Reloaded trash. The assassination of a President is one of those things you usually shouldn't be taking all too lightly. Especially the Kennedy family where two real good men were shot and killed.

Vice City is absolute make believe. Complete fantasy. The murder of JFK is real. That is the difference.

I agree with you Jimmy Higgins. What makes it disturbing is that you gain points for re-enacting the scene correctly. That's just sick. It's not like it's a piece of educational material where its function is to teach people about the event. This is something where a person can capitalize by shooting JFK correctly.

I disagree with the idea as well.
