Homefront (Present)

Watch the "trailer" to this new video game just released. Is this game going too far? Using the still-recent N. Korean military shelling on the S. Korean border as a piggyback to pique the interest of those interested? The game itself has met several controversies, including the outright sales ban in S. Korea, as well as the simulation of a possible future war. These plots and story developing techniques are quite common nowadays in modern-warfare simulated games, including Homefront and the very popular Call of Duty Modern Warfare series. Do these games overstep their boundaries and go a little "too far" in terms of simulating a future war amongst countries already face to face with violent tensions?
