Recent news coverage of the worrying ground war between Russia and Georgia could well leave gamers with a sense of deja vu.

The South Ossetia war, which began on August 7, bears a close resemblance to events portrayed in the 2001 Xbox and Playstation 2 game "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon," the first level of which takes place against the backdrop of a struggle between Georgian rebel forces and the legitimate Georgian government in the South Ossetian region.

Ghost Recon's plot follows these skirmishes with a full-scale Russian invasion of the region, a subsequent evacuation of US forces, and ultimately the fall of the Georgian government. Ghost Recon almost got the timescale right, too: the game's imaginary events begin in April 2008, just a few months before the real war kicked off
this is very freaky because alot of what tom clancy write comes true,(first splinter cell)and may come true(ghost recon two).have you ever noticed something that happened in a game as deja vu

i'm not surprised by the fact that there's war between georgia n russia there has always been friction between the two,but the fact that he got the date almost right is i don't know give me a word

If Ghost Recon's uncanny trend continues, we can expect the South Ossetia conflict to culminate in a dramatic assault on Red Square and the Kremlin by NATO troops -- spearheaded by an elite US special forces team under the control of a pimply fourteen-year-old with a joy pad.

so you read the news too cool

Wow... what if those dudes played Ghost Recon and were like "I think this is possible. Let's do it ! "

Like 20th century boys..whoa..
