Israelestine Palestisrael Video Game for Windows and OSX!

Wow, there's actually a video game that simulates the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. It's called Peace Maker and it's coming to a PC or Mac near you from indy game company Manifesto. This is all according to [http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/28/acclaimed-israel-palestine-sim-gets-commercial-release/|an April 28, 2007 post] at Joystiq.com. Here's a bit more from the post:

Created by a team of American, Palestinian and Israeli students at Carnegie-Mellon University, Peace Maker has won USC's Public Diplomacy Games Contest and was a finalist for Ashoka's Entrepreneuring Peace Contest. It has been highlighted by NPR and The New York Times. Said Manifest CEO Greg Costikyan, Peace Maker "takes on one of the most difficult world issues, presents it without bias or prejudice, and challenges players to think about the issues, to do better than the real-world leaders."

Pretty neat, huh? The game doesn't seem to portray one side as the good guys or bad guys--you get to choose who you want to be, the leader of the Palestinians or the Israelis. I can't wait to give this game a try.

I give myself thirty minutes of gameplay before I nuke the Earth with Israel's nukes! ;)
