Nah, they made a game about Desert Strike, so why not?

I'm sure someone will.

But I'm also in the "tasteless" camp.

Apparently he wasn't armed after all, so yeah, not a great game idea I suppose.

Though I imagine we will see a bonus level somewhere along the line permitting us to kill UBL in his bedroom, probably in his underwear.

I'm pretty sure cheap minigames about this are popping up on Newgrounds as we speak, so we're covered anyway.

Though it has been a year since the competition.

I'm all for a new competition, but not something bin Laden-themed. That would be pretty tacky, IMHO.

Interesting. But really I thought this idea was very fertile... I mostly got it from the models on NBC showing the little blue dots busting into the compound on a helicopter and shooting at the red dots until they stopped blinking, and then shooting the big yellow dot and running off with it. So many possibilities...
