Warco

Gamers, don't get excited. This new video game Warco is designed to help train war journalists to avoid getting themselves killed while reporting in war zones. The game introduces some of the hazards journalists may face in real-life war zones: snipers, improvised explosive devices, ambushes, kidnapping, illness and hostile crowds. Warco is the idea of Tony Maniaty, who has received initial funding from Screen Australia and Screen New South Wales. Click the title link to read about Warco.
