America's Army


Was reading this months issue of Cosmos and saw something on America's Army, seeing that this weeks lecture is on video games i thought i might as well mention it on here. Anyway the game has been created by the U.S.Army in order to recruit people, you can download it for free from the homepage. Just thought it was interesting that the army was using computer games as a method to recruit people, and the possible implications of the game itself, for example soldiers treating real life warfare like a game, or being unable to distinguish between the differences of virtual warfare and real life warfare. You don't get to reload if you die out in Iraq.
