I think it's already been said, but it was a suicide bombing. There is not a game out there that has the player carry out his role as a suicide bomber. Never mind the fact that VIOLENCE HAS GONE DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY since videogames went mainstream. It's been proven time and time again, that playing violent videogames doesn't influence behavior. And there was also a study done that says it doesn't desensitize the player either (contrary to popular belief).

Also, whenever I hear anything with "FOX" in it, I can't control my laughter. This "FOX NEWS TERRORISM ANALYST" has no idea what he's talking about.(Why would they use games to train when they have ACTUAL GUNS with LIVE AMMUNITON?!)
