where chief is hutu killing tutsi aliens that are running/screaming..

elite soldiers fight back but are killed very easily...and numbers dont help with those poor saps...

maybe i forget that we will probably have a lot more to say after COD7 gets released and the army times goes crazy over it...

Indeed.
Just because video games can cause controversy shouldn't mean that can be exploited to the point where you portray a country massacred in 3 months just for the sake of causing some "controversy". It's just not right.

I don't believe it should be done to cause controversy for the sake of controversy. It should be done to tell the story of the Rwandan genocide in a different way, not as some cash cow. Another thing it could be useful for could be a commentary on the colonial system that created the problem in the first place.

I don't see how video games would and should be any diffrent from movies or books.

*sigh*

In the game, the aliens came to earth, yeah? The attacked, yeah? Then they knew what they were doing. They came to start a fight. The fact that they got their ass kicked is inconsequential.
