This article will discuss video war games as propaganda, and the possible impact of video games on war reporting in news broadcasting. It will analyse computer games based on real wars in the light of Steven Poole's approach to computer games as modern mass media, and of Johan Galtung's theory of peace journalism. I will also draw upon earlier works on the military-industrial complex, to understand how the new generation computer games emerged from research within the armed forces in order to develop training videos for military personnel (Held, 2000; Lenoir, 2000).

This article presents an overall assessment of the effects based approach to operations. This operating concept emerged during the 1991 Gulf War as a new approach to military targeting; but it evolved as a revolutionary methodology for the planning, conduction and assessment of operations based on the integration of diplomatic, informational, military and economic instruments. Encumbered as one of the guiding principles of the military transformation processes, this operating concept was employed in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Lebanon. However, its limited applicability, its mediocre results and the development of new models for the management of complex crisis have entailed its disappearance of the world's transformational agendas.
