JFK: Reloaded

JFK: Reloaded is a video game recreating the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Released on the 41st anniversary of the event (November 22, 2004) by Scotland-based Traffic Games , JFK: Reloaded puts the player in the role of Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. The player is then scored on how closely his version of the assassination matches the report of the Warren Commission.  According to the company, the primary purpose of the game is to help prove that the Warren Commission's theory is correct, and to debunk all of the alternate theories.

JFK:Reloaded is available for download for $9.99 in U.S. dollars ($4.99 as of March 2005) from the game's official website. There is a $100,000 cash prize for the person who can achieve the highest score.

A majority of gaming websites and publications have decided not to review JFK Reloaded; however, a few have, and JFK Reloaded has recieved both negative and positive reviews. Many people argue that JFK Reloaded should not be considered a game in terms like that of mainstream games, because the point of JFK Reloaded is to question historical controversies, not to offer the kind of gameplay brought about from most current games.

The game has caused a large uproar in the United States. A spokesperson for Senator Edward Kennedy, the late President Kennedy's brother, called the game "despicable".
