Electronic Arts, the world's #1 publisher of interactive video games for home and portable gaming consoles, has exclusively revealed to angry-gamer.net their latest title: "Saddam Hangs: The Game", for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Black and White, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 1, Game.com but NOT the Dreamcast.
"We're very happy to have the opportunity of Saddam's death to video game players worldwide", said Bing Gordon, EA CEO. "Ever since he wouldn't let us use his likeness for Desert Strike, we've had it in for that evil bastard. And with the power of next-gen gaming hardware, we'll be able to simulate the physics of him swinging from a rope in a truly realistic fashion"
Featuring an all-star soundtrack featuring The Carpenters, Elton John and the Muppets, the game will let players tie their own nooses, adjust rope itchiness and pull the trigger that gets the former dictator of Bagdad swinging away. "This is the future of gaming - snuff films", said a bemused Gordon while smoking a cigar made of pure ivory.
Among the game's features is the ability to unlock hidden EA characters that witness the hanging, such as John Madden, Tiger Woods and Larry Bird. The Wii version lets players swing Saddam's body around with the remote control, and poke it with the Nunchuck. The Xbox 360 version will allow players to purchase extra content with Marketplace Points:
100 points: Saddam autopsy gamercard pictures and desktop themes
200 points: Purchase new chairs that Saddam will stand on before he gets hung.
500 points: Purchase designer blindfolds, created by Nike, Adidas and Vin Diesel
