It has recently come to my attention that players will be able to play
as the Taliban in the multiplayer portion of the upcoming Medal Of
Honor. Recently, some members of the military were interviewed to
provide their feelings on the issue. Is it okay to play as the enemy of a
current ongoing war? Are game developers disrespecting our great
country?
Joseph Jackmovich of gamrFeed asks members of our U.S. military:
"In your opinion, does playing as the Taliban represent disrespect to the military?”
"(Polaski,
Army) Not at all. You are playing an FPS, and if you cannot always play
as the Americans and your game is centered around the conflicts of the
now in Iraq and Afghanistan, who else could the enemy be - the Russians
or Chinese? Killing soldiers mindlessly in a grinding multiplayer mode
hardy constitutes an insult to American soldiers.... Read more »

officially legal for iPhone owners to "jailbreak" their device and run
unauthorized third-party applications. In addition, it is now acceptable
to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.
According to The Associated Press, the government approved a handful of new exemptions

Today is that day the PS3 owners will be able to
purchase access to PlayStation Plus,
the PS3’s new premium subscription package. It seems that the PS3 user
base is split right down the middle on this one with some gamers
welcoming the new option while others are crying foul.
Personally, I think that PS+ is a great idea and a smart move on
