Terrorists Are Using our Games Against Us!

As reported by The Sun today.

What a shock, I can't believe this, we must close down all the online servers! I also find it hilarious they refer it to a "Kids Favourite" as well. It's an 18 rated game, the papers STILL are too stupid to realize the ratings.

Nice reporting there 'The Sun' don't the FBI ,CIA etc already have access to Xbox communications for this very reason?
I remember reading about it headlines years ago

Just when I thought the tabloid press couldn't get any worse.
Next headline.
"game stores are a secret terror cell recruitment tool"

The London based levels where completely inaccurate, it didn't make the place look like a complete sh**thole for one.

quality journalism

I honestly thought it was an April 1st story published by accident until I read it

I love the bit that says gaming addicts have clans. Again more attacks against gamers. This is why I cannot be bothered with newspaper journalism.

Just when I thought the tabloid press couldn't get any worse. Next headline. "game stores are a ...recruitment tool"

I just knew there had to be another reason for Game's current troubles.

Are you only allowed to write for a newspaper if you know f' all about games?

[darkangel]

This IS a tabloid though... so is it really that surprising?

[BaronSqwelch]

“there has even been evidence would-be jihadists treat war games as training tools, a bit like a pilot might use a flight simulator”.

why then are Iran risking the ire of the west? surely its easier to get a nuke by letting two 12 year olds boost for one by hiding in a corner knifing each other??

You guys missed the best bit:



"Realistic... war games"

I love the Sun and their desire to scare the nation. Snow! Terrorists! The Economy! Paedophiles! Immigrants! Videogames! I guess fear sells...

I think people just read it for a laugh these days, I hope so anyway.
