Too Soon For A Columbine Videogame?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the touchy-subject dept.

neutralino writes "Rocky Mountain News has a story about a computer game based on the Columbine massacre. From the article: 'Called Super Columbine Massacre RPG, the game mixes cartoonish scenes with photographs of Harris and Klebold, pictures taken from newspapers and television stations and excerpts from their writings... [The game's creator] said he wanted to create something profoundly unique and confrontational that would promote a real dialogue on the subject of school shootings.'"

    Is it too soon for a "Dick Cheney Special Edition Deer Hunter" game? Just to promote dialog, you know...
