    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), USA's top body for domestic security and law enforcement, has unveiled a new project - "Don't Be a Puppet" - in a bid to protect teens from "violent extremists". And as part of the interactive website, the bureau commissioned a top-down game featuring a goat.

    Called "Slippery Slope", players must use left and right arrow keys to help the goat avoid obstacles and not fall down "the slippery slope to violent extremism", the site explains. If that wasn't as absurd a premise you've heard about a game's message in the history of video games, it gets worse.
