CJ, funny. I wonder if that video game will depict China as being the major reason why Japan lost WWII, until those damn Yankees came along and ruined everything with their nukes.

Chinese gaming firm PowerNet Technology to launch anti-Japanese wargame

For those who thought the tensions between China and Japan can't get much worse...

For anyone who doesn’t get where this is going, the company behind the game cleared things up a little, telling Chinese publication Interfax: "The game will allow players, especially younger players, to learn from history. They will get a patriotic feeling when fighting invaders to safeguard their motherland.”

The game, set to launch commercially before the end of the year, will detail the nasty and rather brutal period of history between Japan and China from 1937 – 1945. Recently anti-Japanese feeling has been rife in China thanks to what the Chinese claim is the Japanese refusal to admit to their past wrongdoings.

This could spark a whole new genre...


Wouldn't it be interesting.......and refreshing......if all future wars were fought out in video games? <g>
