You're too busy working and paying taxes to play video games, but you have plenty of time to watch videos OF video games and make comments on them? Makes sense...

To be honest, I have no idea who you shoot in WWII games, they look crap so I've never played any. As for 'enemy' or 'ally', well that entirely depends what side your country was on doesn't it? You don't think German people might mind shooting Germans? And yet they still buy the games because it's JUST A GAME. Grow up, seriously...

I get people died at the WTC, but how is this disrespecting that even remotely? It's Space Invaders. If a PacMan game was set in Baghdad would that also be tasteless? As an American I get so tired of our collective feeling that an American life is worth more than someone else's, and that anything WTC is complete taboo. It was a terrible event, but far worse events have happened throughout history. So again, how is this video game controversial? It's not like they are planes taking out the tower

where can I get that game

[filss]

You can't tell if it is art or not, art is subjective

[MrKickyourbutt]

Ok, so where's the controversy?

[Belchera]

The people in the video seem entertained. It just goes to show that "entertainment" is relative term.

I'm sure the creator enjoyed making it as well.

[Belchera]

Mind to tell us what does have a point? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but people call things "pointless" a lot of the time, and most of the times it's for a stupid reason.

The point of this is to entertain. Is that not valid?

[Metalmulishax82]

Im not offended, im not laughing, I find this boring and pointless. We all know you have freedom of speech and you can show the trade center destroyed or the presidents head blown off or whatever. But why? Why not use your freedom of speech for something useful and not on pointless garbage.

please don't talk 'bout something u don't know...

The last time I played GTA, I'm pretty sure I shot some people I'd not choose to shoot in real life.

[davifernandeslima01]

very well said :D

So let's protect everyone's feelings and become a stalem colorless, oppressed nation. If you're American, support freedom. Freedom to speak, and express anything. Time to move on.
