A new game launched today, the 41st anniversary of president Kennedy's assassination, puts players in the shoes of assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
The developers of JFK Reloaded have come under criticism from the Kennedy family, but claim that the point of the game is to prove that there was no conspiracy:
"We believe that the only thing we're exploiting is new technology," said Ewing, a former documentary filmmaker and senior executive with Scottish developer VIS, responsible for games like "State of Emergency." He said he sent Edward Kennedy a letter before the game's release.
Ewing said the game was designed to undermine the theory there was some shadowy plot behind the assassination. "We believe passionately there was no conspiracy," he said.
