In other video game related news, private military company Blackwater USA is currently developing an entertainment package to be air-dropped to US troops that includes the popular rhythm game.

In a story reported by the Associated Press, Blackwater recruiter James Overton is creating the entertainment package to help servicemen and women adjust to life in the field.

The kit will include an Xbox 360, TV, Guitar Hero, and a modem.

The entertainment package can be seen as a recruiting tactic that the PMC is trying to employ to engender good will among US servicemen and women, who Blackwater regularly recruits from. Most Blackwater contractors are former US military personnel.
