No. 3 on the least popular computer games

If you had been waiting for a computer game that melds your need to shoot things with your nicer humanitarian instincts, well your wait is over. Thanks to your friends at the UN World Food Program you can now be the leader of "Food Force" a nifty bit of shareware. Click here for story.

The game is set on a fictitious war-torn island, Sheylan, where thousands of people are in desperate need of aid. Players undertake one of six virtual missions that can involve anything from air-drops to rebuilding villages.

In a similar, but completely opposite, vein the US Army have also developed shareware called America's Army. In the first six months 1.5 million people have downloaded the game. I wonder who will have more downloads at the end of the year?

    A game where I can feed the poor & starving or a game where I can shott the bad guys. Hmm. What would I rather do?

    If this is the #3 least popular of all time, I wonder what the #1 least popular game is.
