Kuma War is bringing Saddam\'s trial to virtual life. Just released is the first in a series of episodes featuring the events of Saddam Hussein\'s life which are under scrutiny in his trials. The first episode corresponds to the current trial, and is called \"The Crime of Dujail: Saddam\'s Revenge.\" In 1982, Saddam\'s motorcade was attacked, and Saddam is reported to have ordered the public executions of 143 villagers and the imprisonment of 1500 more Iraqis. Kuma War\'s recreation focuses on the motorcade ambush as players try to assassinate the dictator.

Future episodes will cover the events surrounding other charges brought up in Saddam\'s trials. The second episode is called \"The Capture of Saddam: Operation Red Dawn\" and puts players in the role of soldiers hunting Saddam in 2003. The chase ends, of course, at Saddam\'s foxhole, just as in reality.

Kuma Reality Games sees these episodes of Kuma War as so valuable and educational that they are giving them away for free:

\"In two years of re-creating history, we\'ve seen the power of virtual reality to inform like no medium before it,\" said Keith Halper, CEO of Kuma Reality Games. \"The break in Saddam\'s trial gives people around the world time to educate themselves. We\'re extremely pleased to be able to help and so we\'re offering these episodes for free to users everywhere. If anyone has forgotten what a monster Saddam was, we hope to remind them.\"
