Kuma\War , an online game service "that allows players to experience re-creations of real world military events weeks after they occur," has just launched a "Stories From The Front" contest to find the most compelling real battle story from a U.S. soldier. The winner and three friends will appear in the playable episode as 3D game characters, and in a broadband video. Is this cool or sick?

  • I think its a little twisted.
  • Could it be both or neither? Turning into a game some iggry situation just weeks after it just happened doesn't help to put it on a realist perspective and could potentially turn a very complex conflict involving living (or recently deceased) human beings into some sort of spectacle sport. That said. It's just a game and I could might enjoy it.
  • could potentially WTF was that!?
