Just found this Arabic shoot ’em up game called “Under Siege”. In this game, the player takes the role of a Palestinian resistant fighting the oppressing Israeli army.
The game was created by a company called Afkar Media, a Syrian company I think, who also previously released a game called “Under Ash”.
I haven’t tried the game, but the screenshots I saw on the site make it seem pretty good. The graphics and 3D stuff look rather well done too.
It’s good to see Arab companies are starting to venture into the gaming market. Other than this, I know of a Syrian company that worked on a strategy game and of a Tunisian company who worked on a game called “Haroun” that is an action game.

I chuckled at the irony when next to this video game review and saw the advertisement. The Google ad-box asked me whether I wanted to buy an I.D.F. army t-shirt!
