Abstract
- Looks at how the military has become an industry leader in video-game design, creating games to train and even recruit soldiers. Full Spectrum Warriors created by the Institute for Creative Technologies with help from the U.S. Army; How for the past three years the Army has been entertaining the idea that video games, such as the Xbox, can be an effective way to train soldiers; Skeptics' worry about using video games for training; Fact that the Army has used modern military simulations since the Second World War; How after September 11th, game designers reached out to the military to offer their services; Grim paradox of all training for war: unless you are actually risking your life in battle, it is not real.
