Take out your aggression by killing bin Laden in Quake or UT:

Osama bin Laden has managed to escape harm in the real world, but his likeness is getting blown away with extreme prejudice in living rooms across America.

Gamers have been downloading a virtual image, or a skin, of bin Laden so they can do battle with him in shoot-'em-up computer games.

"Take out your anger and frustration!! Download a free Osama Bin Laden Skin for Unreal Tournament!!" offers gaming site CyberExtruder.com. "Frag his sorry ass all day and all night!"

As well as creating a bin Laden character for Unreal Tournament, the designers at CyberExtruder have whipped up a bin Laden character for Quake3:Arena, too.

Dude, your Enforcer's not going to take out Bin Laden with his bigass gun in your face.

I have to say, this is one aspect of things I had never considered. Hollywood seems to be steering clear of terrorist themes, but maybe videogames will embrace terrorist hunting as a new theme. Who knows?

It is funny though. I'm sure I would have a grand time fragging bin Laden during my spare time. Can I get skins for those 21 other guys?

Heh you can get Osama bin Laden skin for the sims too

I am an BW fan and just some days after the terrorist attack could you play a ums map called "proteect the WTC"

Andrew are you an Osama bin Laden hater? (who isn�t)

I am getting the feeling that the new millenium don�t starting very good with all the terrorism....

Or if you're into the slow, painful death thing, you can download an OBL skin for The Sims at Mac Games Files, put him in a house, and "forget" to provide a refrigerator.

Cool. But you could have picked a better image. You are not likely to win against that flak cannon
