There is no limit to poor taste.

You know, two nights ago, there was a show on the History Channel called "Kennedy", maybe plural, but via 3D/video game technology, it showed the exact same proof, that it was one gunman. This game looks exactly the same as the renderings on that show - they don't need to f***ing release it. Clearly, they lack the understanding of the difference between watching a movie about Kennedy's assassination, and letting the player themselves kill Kennedy.

Way to go, game industry, you shot yourself in the foot yet again. You're another big step closer to being pissed on again by Congress.

Well, the Scottish developer can't probably care less about American congress. They get lots of free publicity that way.

is not so sure this is really worse than Hitman or Grand Theft Auto

The best part of this whole thing is that only now is there an uproar. Its only not OK when you talk about President Kennedy's assassination. But publishing books on how to assassinate President Bush is all hunky-dorey, as is the broadway play about how someone needs to do it.

I may purchase this game just to do it.

I try not to speak often in absolutes, but I have no doubt it's worse. Your goal in those games is not the assasination of an American president, just random computer generated fictional characters.

It's your choice but I won't.

This game is the second stupidest thing I've read about today.... the first being some idiot hunter up in Wisconsin who killed 5 people over a deer stand.

For some reason, seeing that just makes me incredibly angry.
