Fancy a common sense, Mustapha? For crying out loud, what’s wrong with you, the games market is invaded with American games, about invading Arab countries and they use it as a propaganda tools aimed at little kids\minds. So why don’t we hear nothing about those games, but you took the time to talk about hizbullah’s game, and even make fun of it, and accuse the party of killing isreali children. It’s funny how you worry about those children and neglect their lebanese counterparts. Maybe this game, should show the arab rats cheering the invaders, and should provide the player with the option to sniper their asses. As for you, you should be ashamed at yourself, and should seriously revise your whole newly adopted ideology, cause each days it becomes harder for me to separate your blog from ouwet.com. Is this the path that Harriri Sr. took.

Darko, please spare us your disingenous righteousness. Only fools would preach that a certain genre of video games is immoral and then proceed to issue their own in the same genre. That is worse than duplicitous, it is hypocritical. What is even more egregious is to have a religious organization sponsor the development , funding and distribution of such games that are regarded by said organization to be dangerous for the morals of our youth. I have no use for the whole concept of God but I sure object very strongly when the idea of a loving God is hijacked to justify hate and murder.

Columbine? Virginia Tech? do these ring a bell? the effects of commodifying violence are grave anywhere…the teaching of hatred in this manner is an unforgivable thing and it always backfires.

the thing i keep wondering about this game is, can you lose?? can the israelis win??

Anon, of course not. It’s the first video game where you always win. You die on the last level? Divine victory. You die on level 1? Divine victory.

the thing i keep wondering about this game is, can you lose?? can the israelis win??

Yes, you can lose, but in the game it’s terminology it’s called “divine victory”. ;)

Darko–this game should be made fun of. I am no fan of Israel but Israeli children DID die last summer, no? And Hizbullah DID kill them–let’s not play the lame denial game. And funny, many of those children were Arab–but lemme guess, they’re traitors? Children dying is horrendous, period. So get off your damn Hizbullah high horse. Nasrallah and co. are just as murderous as the other side–they all deserve each other.

Why are other games such as Falcon 3 in which you fly an F16 from Israel and bomb Beirut not even mentioned. I bet few of you have even heard about it. Mustapha you used to be less biased :(

Iheartnasrallah4ever,
Israeli kids did indeed die last summer,
but they were Arabs.
Hassan managed to kill some 10 Arab/Israeli kids,
from Nazareth, and the Arab villages in
upper and lower Galilee.

Falcon 3 didn’t come out this week. Nor was it developed by the Israeli government.
This game is “current news” and was developed by Hezbollah.

That’s why.

Idiot.

The Syrian Government released its own 3-D videp game about Palestinian resistance fighting Israel late February. I wander whether the Syrian game and the HA game have things in common from the technological point of view? Has anyone seen both and if so are the graphics similar?

how would i get one of these Special Force 2: Tale of the Truthful Pledge games where do they sell it.

Other that the game engine seeming to be equivalent of MechWarrior 2 (which came out in 1993 I think?) I don’t see anything wrong with this game. I remember playing some “stealth fighter” game in 1989 that had me dropping bombs on Libya and Iran. If that’s what Lebanese kids want to do with their time, who is to say they can’t? Is the UN going to start banning war games just because they are politically incorrect?

David,

how would i get one of these Special Force 2: Tale of the Truthful Pledge games where do they sell it.

I want to get ahold of the game too. I’d like to see what happens when I turn the divine weapons on Palestinians. Or Lebanese “traitors”. Or the Lebanese Army. Do I still get my divine victory? I’m guessing I probably do. And what if I accidentally suicide bomb Hassan Nasrallah? Is my victory more divine, or less? Are we both martyrs?

JANE’S ISRAELI AIR FORCE
NovaLogic’s Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
Close Combat: First to Fight

These are just some of the games depicting Western and Israeli power bombing, shooting and kicking the crap out of Arabs, i never read anything about it on this blog.
“Discriminated against”, there’s nothing “disingenuous” about righteousness, maybe it opposes you racist “I love Life” slogans, and that what upseted you.And don’t bring the notion of god into this debate, cause it has nothing to do with it, all what i said is that he shouldn’t have politicized this game internally, and attack it as if it’s targeted against him.The only message that Hizbullah is trying to spread through this game, is that people who believe in there cause will succeed at the end.
“A. Kara”, Columbine,Virginia Tech, those who did those attacks, are just antisocial people who live in constant fear of the other, and computer games has nothing to do with it, it’s all about the way you’re raised in your home, and not witch game you play.
“Iheartnasrallah4ever”, i didn’t say that hizbullah didn’t kill children, I’m just saying that those who died at the hands of hizbullah, died by mistake and weren’t targeted directly by the party specifically, and most of them were arabs, and considered martyrs by Nassrallah himself, who apologized personally for there death. unlike the Lebanese children and civilians who were through out all the wars between Lebanon and Israel targeted with previous idea about their age and civilian statue: in 3aytaroun, Qana I II, 7issa - akkar…..
The 14 march blogs, have become invaded with Israeli commentators,witch according to Lebanese laws, puts the administrators of those blogs under scrutiny and judicial action that might lead to serious time in jail.
“Amir in Tel Aviv”, i ain’t even gonna dignify you with an answer
Mustapha, you haven’t commented yet

Drako ,

You are wasting your time with this hater(the bloger) because you are not going to Fancy his common sense /////he is just a venomous low life that feeds from the dirt and the blood of innocent Lebanese children like his masters//// and he loops in a vacuum world of no honor and dignity.

I wonder what will come next…
“Special Force 2 - Secret Missions: the Nahr el-Bared showdown” - and of course, you can’t play in the LAF side.
In the *easy* level (no bullets in this mode) you play a syrian invading Lebanon and later you play a truck driver delivering weapons to the camp. On the *normal* level you play a “freedom fighter” against the LAF evil *entity*. And before you ask, there’s no *hard* level as suleiman and the spineless made that impossible.

“Special Force 2 - Secret Missions: the Nahr el-Bared showdown” is not a hizbullah game, it’s a Future movement Production, in first level you have to deliver money to fatah al islam, then you go to the second level, you have to buy them houses and ensure their safety while they travel across the land from ein il hilwi camp and the airport, and on the third level, you give make a deal with them to attack the army militarily before you start attacking them politically and at the end you have to assassinate all the key figures of the terrorist organization, so you can eliminate any evidence that leads to you, and you blame the figures you assassinated for all the crimes in the past 2 years
Where are you mustapha? reply!

@Lebanon, “honor” and “dignity” killed many people. Perhaps it’s good this blogger just stays human.

You should as well!

Good luck!

Darko

Nassrallah killed children by accident???? excuse me but when you fire your rockets at a city you should know that innocent civilians live in a city…

so spare me the empty excuses what he did was just as bad as what the Israeli did, and even worse…
