JFK: Reloaded stays controversial
Games are touching new levels in getting violent this year. If GTA: San Andreas was not bad enough, more and more violent games are launching by the hour. Halo 2 and Half Life 2 are some other big releases of this season. And all these games are bigger and messier than ever.
But the award for the most obscene game of the year yet goes to the much in news JFK: Reloaded. As expected, it continues to haunt the headlines. If normal first person shootouts were not bad enough where players get bonus points to kill people with style, this one invites gamers to recreate the assassination of the late president of USA John F. Kennedy.
Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn. had this to say about the game: “I hope somebody in a prosecutor’s office will take a look at this.” Since the game is available on the internet, there is no way to control it spreading throughout the world. Senator Edward Kennedy has already described the game as despicable.
The thought is scary. I can sitting here at my home download and buy the game from the Internet and have fun all day long shooting the ex-president for pleasure. I would not want to be in that seat. There has to be some limit… virtual characters are ok. But JFK: Reloaded definitely crosses the line of decency.

This is not some “bloody shoot em up”. this is an amazing work of art. The JFK assassination is public knowlage. Everyone has seen the videos of Kennedy’s brains being scattered onto the back of his limo. And most people are very fasinated with the question “could Oswold have acted alone”. I know many people that are downright obsessed with the subject. If you ask me, this game is just an extention of that, an exploration into one of the great mysteries of the 20th century. I hate to sound like an American Cliche, but if you don’t like the idea, DONT DOWNLOAD IT! for crying out loud.

The voice of reason:
This is quite simply an interesting physics experiment to show that Oswald COULD have done the assasination. If anyone immediatly brings out the BAN THIS SICK FILTH line then they have missed out on the main point – that it is a valuble lesson and may help bring an end to many theories of JFKs assasination. This game is no more sick than the National Front’s game Ethnic Cleansing – in fact it is less so as it is based on history rather than mere racial prejudice.

Supply and Demand: If people didn’t want them. The game developers wouldn’t make them.

2006/1/29 i want to examine the game called jfk reloaded. why can it not be altered to miss the target and thus change the course of history?

This is not a game. It is a History lesson. I grew up waching this on tv and in history class and never knew so much detail. If you think this is bad than get rid of Us navy seals Us Airborn and Call of duty. They were real people to fighting and dying in theos wars. The reason this contraversy is about is because and I quote ” THE GOVERMENT WAS BEHIND IT ALL ” thats why they know that we can find out. Thats the reason why Oswald was shot because they did not want him to talk. Talk about what you ask? To talk about the Grassy hill behind the retaining wall.
