LOS ANGELES -(Dow Jones)- Move over Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM: MSFT - News) (MSFT), Nintendo Co . Ltd. and Sony Corp. (SNE).
The U.S. Army wants to show off what it knows about playing war games.
On Wednesday, the Army introduced a simulated, multiplayer video game designed for play over the Internet, or over personal computers, that gives the gaming world a taste of what it's like to defend oil pipelines and airfields from terrorist attacks....
Wonder if Uncle Sam will pay a special visit to those people who scored high enough... Last Starfighter?

LOOOOOOOOOOL what next will they learn how to jump from Mario! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
a quote from Nintendo's legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto:
"What if everything you see is more than what you see -- the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is doorway and if you choose to go inside you'll find many unexpected things."
This appeared on the bottom of both the Mario and Zelda posters with a large logo book-ending the left side reading: "Game Giants The Nintendo Difference." Indeed such powerful mascots would be considered game giants.

Politics aside, it is shaping up to be a contender in a pretty damned saturated market. I wonder if it will really get kids more interested in joining the military than its competitors?

From what I hear it' pretty good. The best part it's free. Now that's good tax dollars.
