Department Of Homeland Security Developing Video Game >

Just like America's Army is an armed forces recruiting tool, and Full Spectrum Warrior was created as a training tool for soldiers, now it seems that the Dept. of Homeland Security is jumping on the video game bandwagon. Ground Truth, which is being developed at Sandia National Labs, is a game that would cast players as first responders to a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The faster a player responds, and the better he or she is able to track the recovery, the greater success he or she will have in the game. The game may even be designed to have good enough graphics and effects to compete with todays "Unreal" engine and PhysX physics, at least, if one of the programmers has her way.

Computer scientist Donna Djordjevich told ABC that she is designing the game to be on par with anything on a next-generation console. "I think it's very important to at least get to a certain level of production-quality or private industry-quality graphics, so that way people don't just turn away from it immediately and just dismiss it as old technology, old software. You have to stay relevant," she said.
