Al Qaeda makes video game

Night of Bush Capturing

I'm not sure if it's been proven to be fake (i.e. not really made by militant Islams), but I hope not. And I'd like to say that the level of silliness surrounding America / Islamic Middle East has just gone up a notch, but this makes one game where they get to fight America versus more than a handful of games in which America fights them. It only seems fair that they get at least one game, right?

Joking aside, I read that the game runs off an old Wolfenstein engine and plays exactly the same, but with pictures of Bush, Tony Blair, and a few other enemies of Islam tacked here and there. In case you're interested, here are:

the trailer , and

the game itself
