I could not sit by this time. After reaching the website, click on North America. Or look for the game "Gun".
I called the corporate headquarters and asked to speak with someone about this game.. The receptionists tone of voice changed and she put me through to a voicemail.

I do not want my kids to play this game, let alone see it.

GLOBAL BOYCOTT "Gun": killing & scalping Apaches
A racist game called "Gun." has been released by Activision , Santa Monica
CA video game publisher for Xbox 360, Xbox, Playstation , PS2 and PC.
"Gun" features a frontiersman hero named Colton White. The earliest
task the game player must complete is to slaughter Apache Indians. Not
only slaughter-- but also scalp Apaches with a "scalping knife which
can be purchased as part of the many weapons offered to the hero of the game, Colton White.
-------------------
If a similar game which advocated the killings of African Americans,
Irish, Mexicans, or Jewish would there not be an outcry?
The Hero" bemoans the fact that although he's killed so many Apaches, he is also letting so many get away!!!
Activision scriptwriter Randall Jahnson has just written a game that says
killing all Apaches is the right thing to do and in the game you not only
have to slaughter the Apache to advance
in the game, but you can purchase a "scalping knife" to "scalp them all!"
As if to make amends, "The Hero" switches sides later in the game and
discovers a secret about his own indigenous heritage. This story twist
DOES NOT make the preceding chapters any easier to accept. In fact, in the
official guide to the game, it actually says that because "The Hero" rescues
some Apaches held captive on a train, perhaps it cancels a karmic debt for his earlier actions.
