New U.N. game stresses feeding not fighting

The U.N. World Food Program has begun promoting its new game, "Food Force", to help educate children about the conditions faced by the hungry in war-torn battle zones.  The game unfolds on a fictitious island packed with dense jungles and vicious rebel forces.  From the outset, Food Force appears to be a standard shoot-em-up action/adventure, but instead of packing heat, you're carrying around food supplies.  The challenge is to deliver the goods to starving civilians while avoiding any hostile forces.  You are also in charge of setting up Sim City-esque farm projects.

The game can be downloaded for free at the Food Force website where you can also find more information about "How to help".
