New York (October 3, 2005) – "Reality Game" maker Kuma Reality Games has released a stunning 3-D video game simulation of what a U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities might look like. Based on declassified documents and the latest thinking of military experts, Kuma´s "U.S. Attacks Iran" episode is available for free download at Kuma\War (www.kumawar.com).
As with all Kuma\War episodes, "U.S. Attacks Iran" contains expert analysis and a thoughtful discussion of the political ramifications of military action as well as a playable 3D simulation, letting ordinary individuals experience firsthand what military planners think such an attack might look like.
The issues raised by "Attack on Iran" couldn´t be more timely or important. Iran´s new president and war council have announced the resumption of uranium processing, and the possibility of U.S. military intervention is all too real. With "U.S. Attacks Iran," ordinary citizens can experience actions U.S. soldiers may be asked to perform. Players will join a U.S. special ops team attempting to infiltrate and dismantle Iran´s real-world Natanz nuclear weapons complex.
"Kuma´s mission is to reinvent broadcast television using video game technology," said Keith Halper, CEO of Kuma Reality Games. &With ´U.S. Attacks Iran´ we follow the lead of networks like The History Channel and Discovery in bringing news headlines to life with speculative re-creations. What sets us apart is that our audience actually gets to participate, experiencing the news--and perhaps news yet-to-come--in free, playable simulations utilizing advanced game technology."
Kuma\War has expanded the boundaries of news reporting through accurate and timely re-creations of real-world military events. Delivered just weeks after the events have taken place, Kuma has created more than 55 episodes including "Uday and Qusay Hussein´s Last Stand," "Operation Anaconda", "The Battle for Fallujah," and "John Kerry Swift Boat." Episodes are available for free download at www.KumaWar.com and come with a video news show, intelligence gathered from news sources worldwide, and insight from decorated military advisors.
