Blackwater Worldwide, the real-life mercenary team linked to the killing of civilians and noncombatants in Iraq during U.S. operations there, will be the subject of a Kinect-supported videogame coming to the Xbox 360 later this year.
Published by 505 Games and titled, simply, Blackwater, the game is being produced in consultation with the private security contractor's founder, the former Navy SEAL Erik Prince.
A news release called it "an intense, cinematic shooter experience," set in a fictional North African town, in which players, as Blackwater operatives, battle two warlords' factions to protect the city.
"This game and its immersive Kinect-based approach will give players the chance to experience what it is like to be on a Blackwater team on a mission without being dropped into a real combat situation," Prince said in a statement issued by 505. The game was developed in conjunction with former Blackwater members "to ensure accuracy of moves, gestures and gameplay," the 505 release said. "The game also features a selection of officially-licensed weapons for your soldier to choose from."
The game may also be played using a standard controller.

OK - let me expend an entire nanosecond of thought on the storyline here.
Yeah.
Brave American super soldiers kill niggas and ragheads in a range of ever more gory and addictive 3-D technicolour fashions.
And if one of those pesky ragheads blows your leg or your head off, you can just cuss, reload the game, and get killing again.
And when the adolescent gamesplayer reaches 18, he can be shipped to Virginia to flip his joystick and kill real niggas and ragheads, and maybe some gooks and gypsies too, with a remote-controlled drone.
Erik Prince - if your beloved Rapture comes to pass, you will FRY for your crimes against humanity.
Your crimes against the human soul. angryfire angryfire angryfire
