I've seen this situation once already in a game I have called Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for the Playstation 2.
You play alternatively as both sides of an ongoing conflict between U.S./E.U. forces and the Chinese Army.
What's interesting about that game is how the cutscenes are like newscasts on the events and battles that you just played in the previous level, as seen from the opposing side's point of view.
That's one thing I really like about that game - it tells it just like it is about biased media reporting, and in particular U.S. media.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this, it's no different than the games we have in America where we kill asians and russians and arabs and everyone else.

As a Russian, I see nothing wrong with this. You guys constantly make games killing us, and you don't see us outraging. Hell, we play it too! Do you see how this feels, finally? I'm just glad someone had the guts to do this. The 'It's just a game' phrase doesn't seem to reassuring anymore, does it?
