‘Call of Juarez: The Cartel’ new Video Game Highlighting Border Violence

Video gamers on the lookout for the newest, bloodiest and most violence-promoting game around might be finding it when “Call to Juarez: The Cartel’ arrives this summer.

Ubisoft Entertainment and Techland developed the game for iPad and iPhone as well as PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC users that highlights the low lights of violence in Mexico’s most violent city Ciudad Juarez.  The developers describe the game as “a first-person shooter game bringing the Old West into the present day.”

The gamer will take a blood-soaked trip from Los Angeles to Juarez, Mexico meeting a lot of unsavory types and engage in different types of shootouts.  You have everything from clashing cowboys, FBI and female bandits.  The real Juarez, is considered the most violent city in Mexico, where 3,000 were killed last year amongst a population of 1.3 million residents. 

Not everyone is please especially those individuals that live with the violence in the real world and others who feel this is reinforcing negative stereotypes and makes light of an enormous problem in Mexico. 

This game is the third in a series and its suggested retail is $59.99.
