In summer 2006, an Iranian political group called the Union of Islamic Student Societies revealed that it was planning on entering the videogame business. Via the fundamentalist state's semiofficial Fars news agency, a spokesperson for the group announced that its members were developing an as-yet unnamed game revolving around one fictitious Commander Bahman. In the game, American troops kidnap an Iranian nuclear engineer who is traveling through Iraq en route to a Shiite holy shrine in Karbala, and Bahman must then cross the border to battle U.S. Special Forces and rescue the scientist, thereby ensuring the success of Iran's undoubtedly peaceful nuclear energy program.

Fact: This game will, by comparison, make Daikatana look like a quality title worthy of exceptional critical acclaim.

The Union of Islamic Student Societies needs to hire Derek Smart onto the dev team, then they'll be set.

It will be short, all the guy will do is strap on a bomb and walk into a discotech. Waste of money IMO.
