Okay, that's the strangest thing I've encountered in a while. But then, Americas Army cost about 6 million to develop, and hezbollah should easily have that kind of money to throw around.


Big areas of the site don't seem to work though, and the downloads all time out for me. Before I believe this is for real I'd want to look into the new articles the site has, they don't include links to the originals.

I found it here the site of a dutch newspaper (article is in dutch)

But it wouldn't be the first time they put a hoax in there paper, that's why I wanted to know if anyone had heared about this game before.

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. ... If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. ... If, as they say, God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" -Epicurus


Fear is the mother of all gods.

Nature does all things spontaneously, by herself, without the meddling of the gods. -Lucretius
