Former Gitmo Detainee develops XBox Game.
Microsoft better denounce this.01-wingedeagle

A Briton who spent two years in Guantanamo Bay as a terror suspect is cashing in with a computer game based on the U.S. detention camp.

Moazzam Begg, 41, will appear as himself in the Xbox 360 game, which could rake in $5 million.

"Rendition: Guantanamo," due to go on sale in October, lets players control a detainee trying to shoot his way out.

Begg, of Sparkhill, Birmingham, is shown in the game as head of an organization helping the suspect to escape.

Human rights activist Begg was thrown into the camp on Cuba in 2003 after the CIA held him in Pakistan. He claims he was tortured before being freed without charge in 2005.

Begg said any money he is paid will go to a charity fighting for detainees’ rights.

"The software firm approached me with the idea for a Guantanamo game," he said. "I'm involved to make sure it is as true to life as possible."

Zarrar Chishti, director of the Scottish firm spending £250,000 to produce the game, said: “We checked with police and security services. We didn’t want MI5 knocking our door down.

“We are expecting an extreme reaction to the game in the US. But we think it will sell well in the Middle East.”

Well nobody would buy this game here. Forget about the politics... just look at the 6th generation graphics and the sucky story line. Nobody would spend $60 on this.

I can't believe some software company would make anything that puts the terrorists in a good light.

Well hell !!!!!!

I think I will call up Lindy England and her and I will head over to Ubi Soft or Activision and get us a game rolling about Fun & Games in Abu Ghraib.

It would be a lot like the Sims in that you can Strip your Detainee, Put a Leash on Him and have him Lie Atop Several Other Leashed and Naked Detainees !!!!! Along with all sorts of other fun stuff of course.

And for Robert and Klan, Forced Abortions and lots of Water Boarding with Salt Water .... see Robs, I am looking out for YOU ... 04-rock

Or we could get with Saddam, Uday, and Qusay and do a Rape, Torture, Beat Down, Electrocution, Testicle Crush with Pliers game and one where Uday beats the sh't out of his Soccer Team when it loses a game.

OH SHOOT !!!!!!! All of these guys are freggin dead !!!!!!! Dern your hide George Bush, I could have made $Billions$ to fund Barack Obama's Bankrupting of America with my Tax Over Burden off the game. Now I am really angry !!!!!

And all our Proceeds will go to Wiping Osama Bin Ladens old rusty ass ....

How 'bout puttin' that in your pipe and smoking it Moazzam Begg ???

I mean whats Good Enough for a pizz ant Terrorist like you, is surely Good Enough for Me ,,, AYE ???

The game developer just announced that this project was being cancelled due to “public outrage”

Yeah. But you have to remember the storyline has to include Rummy, Bush and the Dick giving the orders to do the torturing.

No, but this product ranks right up there with the "Lego Concentration Camp Set"

Censorship? They're voluntarily pulling the game because it's obviously not popular.

What was your position when Imus called some basketball players nappy headed ho's and Sharpton expressed outrage which ultimately cost Imus his job? Was that censorship?

OH IT WOULD !!!!!

And I would put you in the Very First Scene to kick off the game with some Testicle Bursting with Oyster Pliers.

I'd have "Dick" on the headset giving me direct orders to just lay it all on you simply as a test to see what hurts the most.

Of course we would already have checked you out and would know you are just a retard that knows nothing, but hey, we have got to test this stuff on someone, and since you are a Waste of Life and an Oxygen Thief, you are expendable.

Sorry you don't make it past the first few minutes of the Game, so no 15 Minutes of Fame for Robbie .... 03-lmfao 03-lmfao 03-lmfao

Look for it on Shelves just after the 2010 Mid-Term Elections ... 04-rock 04-rock 04-rock
