Several companies have delayed or scrapped games that could be considered offensive in the context of the attacks. Spider-Man 2 has been recalled while developers edit out a building that looks something like the World Trade Center. A game called Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty may get a tweak -- it shows the pre- attack New York skyline. And, many shopkeepers have taken Red Alert 2 off the shelves. The game's box shows New York's skyline burning with the World Trade Center shadowing the ruins.
