The Iraq war is senseless, that is not debatable, but that doesn't mean our troops have to suffer. We here at The Studio love causes that help those who may not be in a position to get the games they want. Luckily, the good people at CAG (cheapassgamer.com) has started up a way for everyone to actually send their games to gamers out there risking their lives.
The "Donate Games to the Troops in Iraq" campaign has brought a smile to our and hopefully many other soldiers faces. For anyone who wants to send out their games can do so by airmailing those old games on the shelf to the destination. If your worrying about shipping, its not bad, as it is shouldn't be more than sending off anything to your grandma to get your extra Christmas money.
When those games arrive, you will receive photos via flickr showing that they have arrived, and most likely a huge smile on someone who hasn't had a reason to for the last couple months. Even if you do not support the war, even if you don't like Bush, become a philanthropist for those who don't have that choice. Isn't better than just simply getting that measly 8 bucks at Gamestop, and we all know your not playing them anyway.
To lead the way we here at the Studio will be sending off games. Our List so far includes:
Fable: The Lost Chapters (XBOX)
The Punisher (XBOX)
Jet Set Radio Future (XBOX)
The Red Star (PS2)
