Video Game Bunker - Super Columbine Massacre RPG! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAtYiWcACik#)
This game delves into the morning of April 20th, 1999 and asks players to relive that day through the eyes of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, those responsible for the deadliest school shooting in American history. It's intended to deepen the understanding of the shooting and its possible causes. What the player takes out of it is ultimately dependant upon what the player puts into it. Preview pictures can be found below.

Yup, you read it correctly. What could be better than a game placing you in the role of Eric Harris, on the 20th of April 1999. It sounds wrong, it sounds disrespectful,it's offensive. It's f**king awesome...You are offended? I don't see why, it's a game, not real life. It lets you explore the motives of Harris and Klebold and how they did it. It does not encourage any aggression. You want to kill everyone in your school? Fine, then do it! IN THE GAME! Release unneeded hate and anger into a computer game, much better than doing it in Real Life!
Boy this will piss some people off...

It would've made more sense in a non-offensive way if they replaced the names and images, and just stated that the game was based on the actual events, rather than slander the victims of the incident through a cheapo game meant to promote violence using something that led to an incredible loss of innocent life through exactly that...

I prefer to play Counter-Strike than this abomination of a game.
Surely we've all dreamed of something to get out of school to escape realism, but to actually pull it off is inhumane.

stop taking it so seriously and unwad your panties

Get some sympathy and common sense and maybe you'll see why this is upsetting.

Events in Grand Theft Auto series might remind people of thing that upset them, yet it is one of the most popular game series in the world...I don't see how this game is any different than GTA in terms of agression or whatever.

GTA replaces the names and identities of people so that although it may be based on the real thing, no one is being victimized IRL by it. This game mentioned above is purposely copying the names and events, knowing that it will be controversial to do so. Rockstar Games may have caused a few uproars in their time, but at least they respected those they imitated so they wouldn't insult them.

I played it and got about half-way. Windows Vista rendered the font horribly so I just gave up on it. I think I'll pick it up again and finish it on a Windows XP VM. It's offensive to some people, yes, but I take it as entertainment since it IS a game. I laughed here and there at the parodies and jokes that were in there. If you enjoyed it, I'd recommend Postal, especially Postal 2. Get the Fudge Pack if you can find it.
