CIA Goes Video Gaming

It's not just the US Army or Marines which has their very own video game anyore- the CIA is now investing in one too.

While the Army has America's Army and the Marines have Close Combat- both used to train troops the tactics they might eventually have to put to real use- the CIA now wants to get in on the action. They want to have a 3D virtual training environment to train their operatives with- and expect a civilian friendly version to hit the shelves soon too. The idea is that the game will enable them to train people the skills they need without the use of highly expensive and time consuming training facilities.

Roll on the Playstation release!
