Controversial Game Re-Creates 9/11
Digital artist Douglas Stanley has found a way to blend archaic gameplay with modern day catastrophe.
His game is called Invaders! and is based on the classical Space Invaders. In keeping with the tastes of the Wii generation, the game involves extravagant motion control. Swinging your arms allows you to unleash a volley of bullets on screen.
But not matter how sharp a shooter you are, the game design ensures that swarms of aliens continue to descend and force the Twin Towers to crumble. The game is designed to elicit emotions out of players but some have understandably found it tasteless. Art imitates life?
