Georgia-Russia conflict predicted ... In a video game

The South Ossetia war, which began on August 7, bears a close resemblance to events portrayed in the 2001 Xbox and Playstation 2 game "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon," the first level of which takes place against the backdrop of a struggle between Georgian rebel forces and the legitimate Georgian government in the South Ossetian region.
Ghost Recon's plot follows these skirmishes with a full-scale Russian invasion of the region, a subsequent evacuation of US forces, and ultimately the fall of the Georgian government. Ghost Recon almost got the timescale right, too: the game's imaginary events begin in April 2008, just a few months before the real war

once something is in the ether/collective consciousness its only a matter of time before it reappears somewhere else...synchronicity is crazy!

Ghost recon is always a fun play. Hopefully Rainbow Six Vegas(also a very fun play) doesn't come true also.
