Pressure Mounts On EA Over Role Of Taliban In Game, British Defense Secretary Calls For Ban

As expected, EA’s Medal of Honor is coming under fire from all sides. The game, a first-person shooter, is scheduled to be released on October 12 for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, takes place in Afghanistan, and puts you in control of U.S. soldiers on the ground there. It also, at least in the multi-player mode, lets you play as the
Taliban. So, the natural line of thinking is, what kind of video game lets you shoot and kill U.S. soldiers?
