Orson Scott Card makes a video game!?

Reading through CNN the other day I noticed this article:

Aparntly Orson Scott Card, author of the Enders Game series, is involved in producing a video game. He aparently is doing the writing for the game, and wants to fill it with lots of moral choices and the like (Big surprise for something that card puts out, right?).

I am all atwitter about this game. It says in the game that you'll start out with a full arsenal of weapons. I thought this was particularly hillarious, I assume the theme is going to be something like it's not how you shoot someone, but who you shoot that's important, or possably, what good is a gun when dealing with such moral situations? Either way I'm pretty sure that the game will be chock full of the gut wrenching lose-lose situations that Card is known for, a lot of sacrifice the few to save the many, and who deserves to die, and can you make that desision kind of challenges, hehe. Either way I assume that this is going to be a very different sort of game than what we are used to.

I read about this in my Game Informer magazine. OSC is also thinking about writing a book to go along with the story in the game. If the game flops, this could prove to be disasterous.
