France – A day after the United States honored George Washington, a French software  company released a video game that depicts the first president as a tyrant who  hangs people and must be assassinated.

The game, titled “Assassin’s Creed III: The Tyranny of King Washington” and  released Tuesday by Ubisoft, can be played on Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and  PlayStation 3.

The game presents an alternate reality that depicts Washington as  “the former champion of American freedom turned power-mad overlord,” according  to its creators.

“With the introduction of our first single-player episodic DLC ‘The Tyranny  of King Washington,’ we figured we should reacquaint you with the hero you  thought you knew,” Ubisoft says in a statement on its website, underneath a  promotional video showing an evil-looking Washington wearing a crown and  gripping a throne with the American flag draped overhead.  Full Article
