9/11 The Video Game

Sounds exciting.

Is there a "dark side" option where you get to play as the hijackers?

That would be pushing it too far.

We have to wait 22 years before we're allowed to joke about this event or make light of it. That's the rule.

We can joke about Hitler but not about 9/11.

Stop me if you've heard this one.

So Hitler walks into the World Trade Center...

Dylflon · 07-25-2003, 03:27 AM

Stop.

At least the company is going to get its name on the map very quickly, once news organizations pick up on what this game is. It looks like something I would play.

what exactly is this rule ?

Generally the rule is

Tragedy + Time = Humor

I believe the 22 years thing comes from an episode of south park.

Correct.

I abide by this rule. There's nothing wrong with a 9/11 game. It's just that we can make light of it by being terrorists.

Even though World War 2 was a long time ago; in war game you seldom play as the nazis.

Well, I hope it just doesn't turn into something as shallow and one-sided as Medal of Honour's 'warnography'.

Holy shyte... That would be a SWEET option.

And I'll give this game a rent! Looks fun.

I would maybe play it out of morbid curiosity but I wouldn't spend any money on it.

I find this to be very sick. Well, yes, it is inevitable that movies and maybe games would based off this event, it shouldn't be this soon. Its only been a year and a half since 9/11. Its still far too close to have a game based off it.

*shrugs and walks away*

I can't believe how unsensitive these developers are.

"Oh god, another terrible incident in America, lets try to make money off of this!"

So do you hate the people who made the over-abundance of flags after 9/11? They were making money of it!

I can't speak for anyone else, but yeah, that was pretty annoying to me...Unless these people were selling flags and getting money to benefit the families, then that's fine with me. I felt that all that patriotism after 9/11 was a bit ridiculous. I mean, if you were that fond of America and had that many flags waving before, then so be it, but if it takes a tragedy to make you proud of your country, that's a problem.
