2. JFK Reloaded
Is there really any merit in endlessly replaying the assassintion of JFK in order to come up with more creative ways to carry it out? Well no, but that's supposedly not what developers Traffic Games had on their agenda when they made the "historical sim": instead they claimed that they merely intended to bring "history to life" and to try and help prove the findings of the Warren Commission. Kirk Ewing, Managing Director of Traffic claimed (via
the Guardian) that "We genuinely believe that, if we get enough people participating, we'll be able to disprove, once and for all, any notion that someone else was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy." Educational merit then, is it? Mass-participation forensic survey? Sounds to me like the bluster of a company desperate for attention. It's just needlessly controversial. http://youtu.be/XHZtWTWT_4o
