Global Conflicts sequel erupts from Latin America

No, you haven't accidentally stumbled into regular world news. It's rare for adventures to tackle real-world crises, let alone controversial subject matters, but today Serious Games Interactive is doing just that in releasing Global Conflicts: Latin America for PC and Mac.

A sequel to last year's Global Conflicts: Palestine, the new game once again casts players in the role of a freelance journalist who must research and write a series of articles based on realistic scenarios from one of the most troubled areas of the world. In this combination of adventure game and simulation, players are "confronted with ruthless land owners profiting on modern slavery; corrupt police officers and tainted state officials; men with bloody hands from their involvement in systematic genocide; organized criminals benefiting from the misery of others; and shameless businessmen putting profit before workers' rights and the environment. None of these wish to talk about the details of their doings. Your job is to identify them, throw them off balance, and bring the truth about their actions to the public."

Like its predecessor, Global Conflicts: Latin America includes a strong educational component, as the goal is to explore complex issues from all sides and raise awareness rather than promoting a particular political agenda, and a series of educational companion resources will be released soon. The game will be available starting today, however, at the Global Conflicts website. A trailer and playable demo are also available for those who like to try before they buy.

For additional information about the Global Conflicts series, be sure to check out our detailed look at the previous game.
