According to this article, Spain's main opposition party is being hounded over a video game they produced which invites users to bomb illegal immigrants. The video game, Rescue, was posted on the conservative Popular Party's website and is being used as part of the party's campaign for regional elections. "In the game, Alicia Sanchez-Camacho - the president of the PP branch in Catalonia - is depicted riding a white seagull called Pepe. She is dubbed Alicia Croft, in a reference to Lara Croft, the heroine of the popular video game Tomb Raider. Points are awarded to players when they direct the bird to bomb aircraft containing illegal immigrants or symbols of Catalan nationalism." Hours after the game was posted online, The Popular Party took it down saying that the game manufacturers made a mistake; instead of bombing migrants, organized crime groups were supposed to be the targets.
