Interesting. Now they're using video games in soldier training. It's a 40MB download free for all US troops.
The “things to look for” are taken from actual experience in Iraq. It’s a competitive game, with players racking up points for correctly spotting useful information (for example, a car that is rather too low to the ground could be carrying a load of explosives). Other useful items embedded in the game are the tactics used by hostile Iraqis to set up ambushes, or using lookouts to warn of an approaching patrol. The player has his weapon, a digital camera (a common tool on patrols) and the ability to talk to locals.
