Its just a game

The videogame developer CITY interactive will launch next spring the fourth sequel of their so called 'Terrorist Takedown'. And guess what? This time its our turn. The new game is called 'Terrorist Takedown 4: WAR IN COLOMBIA'. Its a first person shooter game (like Call of Duty, Wolfenstein, etc...) where you will be an american elite soldier whose final objective will be to kill the colombian drug lord.

The game wont be in stores for quite some time but colombian newspapers are already heating up the coming controversy. Apparently the introduction of the game is demeaning for some people: "The only beneficial crop in non-industrial, mountainous region of Colombia is coca - therefore 70% per cent of its society is either directly or indirectly involved in production, distribution, purification or smuggling of cocaine, which makes cartel from Medelin and other mobsters be widely supported by the Colombian society. Criminals are flooding the U.S. with drugs thus earning loads of money from that business. Being fed up with that state of affairs, American government decides to get rid of drug bosses from Colombia. The war in Colombia breaks out... "

Come on.. its just a game. Actually, I'm curious.. I want to see it and play it. And I think that it was about time that they made a game with Colombia as background.
