Grand Theft Hajj: Coming to a game near you soon

First step in "countering the global trend of violent video games."

The game is set to feature the different stages of the pilgrimage and giving the player the chance to deal with pilgrims as a security officer or medical assistant or as anyone taking part in the pilgrimage.

The best part - they had to farm the development out to the Dhimmis due to an absence of designers in Arab countries. Hah!

“Experts from several Arab countries will participate in developing the game, including a Kuwaiti expert who is presently setting the scenario for the game and its various levels. The design process will take place in a European country owing to the absence of designers for these kinds of games in Arab countries. Despite several attempts to produce flash games for consoles, video games require advanced technology.”
