Well, there's been this big furore about gaming, and there was recently a flight sim announced with something to do with 7/11 and the war on terrorism...but I really don't see the big deal.
Yes, it was a terrible tragedy and thousands lost their lives...but sooner or later, games will be made about it.
This was a HUGE event, and has lots of possiblities for stuff like flight sims, shooters etc.
In World War 2, millions died, the whole WORLD was involved in such bloodshed and now, games based around the events are two to a penny (or some other cliched phrase about there being lots, I dunno, it's late).
If anyone could grab me the name of that aforementioned flying game, I would be greatly appreciative...
Do you guys think it would be morally wrong to develop games based on the WTC incident?
With the quality of British construction, we'd never get another one built!

I'm glad you told us
Anyway, um, what can I say other than what kind of a game would it be? You fly a plane into a building, possibly avoiding AA gun fire? Sounds pants. Or would they make it a FPS and you have to help people escape? Sounds pants. They couldn't make a good game out of it, so they shouldn't bother

Well, with the quality of Italian construction, it would probably knock it straight!

I hope not! With the quality of French construction, it would be a disaster!

We have the events of Sept 11, then another planbe crash, and now a plane crashing into a tower in Milan. What next? A paper aeroplane crashing into the Eifel Tower?
