The US Government may never reveal those details, but that didn’t stop PC game developer Kuma Games from giving people a chance to hunt down Osama. The game, titled ‘Kuma/War Episode #107: The Death of Osama bin Laden’, allows the player to play as a US Navy SEAL, who is tasked with killing the feared terrorist.

According to the Kuma Games website, “After months of stake outs and growing amounts of intel, a US helicopter crosses Pakistan under the cloak of darkness. 79 Navy SEALs drop from the sky into a secret compound, designed for defense and manned by Al-Qaeda killers. In forty minutes and a rain of hot lead, a decades-long, worldwide manhunt for Osama Bin Laden will be ended… by you”.

In addition to the Mission 107, Kuma/War also allows the players to engage in missions from the past few years. These include games such as ‘Mission 62: Operation Red Dawn’, which recounts the search and capture of Saddam Hussein and ‘Mission 75: The Death of al-Zarqawi’, which tasks the player with pinpointing the location of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of the Al Qaeda.

While some might say that this is nothing more than an attempt to garner free publicity from the events of the past few days, others may just think of this as nothing more than a video game.
