Raid Gaza! Video Game - PCWorld reviews the gameplay.
Yesterday PCWorld Magazine posted a review of the Flash game "Raid Gaza!", which, reportedly, is a bit of strategic communications mixed with simple gameplay.
According to PCWorld, the game seems first encourages and rewards violence against Palestinians (the 'bad guys' in the game) but then flips a guilt trips on the player with a scoring screen that compares the player's score with historical facts regarding the Palestinian death toll in past conflicts in Gaza, complete with an Olmert avatar scolding about how the player should be more effective.
Raid Gaza! isn't the first video game to place the player in the shoes of the Israeli Prime Minister. Conflict: Middle East, released by Virgin in 1990, challenged the player to deal with a simulated crisis threatening Israeli security.
