Hezbollah Launches Special Force 2

Finally the sequel gamers around one tiny part of the world have been waiting for. After wowing players with 2003′s Special Force, which featured Hezbollah fighters defending against Israeli attacks, Hezbollah computer experts strike back with Special Force 2. The game, released yesterday, recreates key events of last year’s 34-day conflict between Israel and the guerrilla group. “This game presents the culture of the resistance to children: that occupation must be resisted and that land and the nation must be guarded,” Hezbollah media official Sheikh Ali Daher said.

So while we’re over here trying to assure everyone that gaming doesn’t cause violent behaviour in children, the Hezbollah is over there doing pretty much just that.
