Amber Night

(obRumsfeld: “We know where the FPS are. They’re in the area around Tehran and Karbala and east, west, south and north somewhat.”)

From the Associated Press (via GamePolitics):

TEHRAN, Iran - An Iranian hard-line student group unveiled a new video game Monday that simulates an attempt to rescue two Iranian nuclear experts kidnapped by the US military and held in Iraq and Israel.

…

In “Rescue the Nuke Scientist,” US troops capture a husband-and-wife team of nuclear engineers during a pilgrimage to Karbala, a holy site for Shiite Muslims, in central Iraq. Game players take on the role of Iranian security forces carrying out a mission code-named “The Special Operation,” which involves penetrating fortified locations to free the nuclear scientists, who are moved from Iraq to Israel.

The Union Students of Islamic Association (or USIAMBLA¹) refused all interviews with Amber Night Megalomedia, but sources hint at the possibility of a “Turkish Coffee” mod which may allow players to have simulated hand-holding with women who are not in their immediate family, and whose ankles are exposed. The ESRB is reportedly outraged and plan to revoke the game’s “M — For Martyr” rating, replacing it with the dreaded “I — For Infidel.” USIAMBLA plans to abduct and behead them appeal.
