Abstract :
We discuss America´s Army, an Internet-based PC game suite developed by the Moves Institute under the auspices of the US Army. The goal within America´s Army: Operations was to demonstrate life in the infantry. America´s Army: Soldiers was conceived as a realistic look at army personal and career opportunities via sophisticated role-playing.
