War game is published!

Simon and Schuster Interactive are waving a small flag for common sense, having released their latest title, "Real War" in spite of the horrific events of September 11th. In the period since then the gaming industry has seen myriad high profile cancellations and suspensions, mostly because of depictions of New York City and of buildings being blown to bits, but some of the decisions we've seen recently smack of outright lunacy. Astonishingly then, Real War is a game about stamping Terrorists out in the Middle East. It had always been on target for a mid-to-late September release, but nonetheless one would have expected to see it canned for a while in the current climate. But apparently not. S&S are clearly not driven by media hysterics and have no intention of playing into the terrorists' hands. For this, we applaud them.
