Cuba hits out at Black Ops over Castro appearance[This story contains spoilers] Cuba has criticised Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops, calling it "perverse" and saying that it "glorifies" illegal activity perpetrated by the United States government.
Black Ops features a mission in which players are required to mount an assault on a Cuban stronghold and confront Castro.
An article posted on Cubadebate, a state-run news website, argues that the FPS stimulates "sociopathic" attitudes in children.
"On the one hand, it glorifies the illegal assassination attempts the United States government planned against the Cuban leader ... and on the other, it stimulates sociopathic attitudes in North American children and adolescents," read the statement.
It went on to say that the United States was now using the game to virtually assassinate the leader, who is rumored to have survived over 600 attempts during his lifetime.
"What the United States couldn't accomplish in more than 50 years, they are now trying to do virtually," it read.
Frustrated Vietnam war veteran Ron Parkes has said that Activision purposefully released Call of Duty: Black Ops on the same week as Remembrance Day as part of a 'tacky marketing strategy'.
