"America's Army"

"Paid for by America's taxpayers and designed by the U.S. Army," the new America's Army videogame was unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles and released earlier this month, writes Bill Berkowitz in an article from last week. According to him, the game "has cost taxpayers $6.3 million thus far," and will serve as a recruiting tool for the greatest killing machine on earth. Some, however, say it is merely a "positive marketing tool," and not a gimmick to lure 18-24 year olds out onto the battle field.

More info about the game is available at its official site, where it can also be downloaded for free.
