Cuba has strongly criticised the launch of the Call of Duty: Black Ops video game in which players try to gun down former Cuban President Fidel Castro.
They say the game, which is not available in the country, glorifies assassination attempts.
Cuba expressed outrage on Thursday at the latest US-developed game that lets players try to kill former Cuban President Fidel Castro.
Call of Duty: Black Ops, some of which is set during the Cold War, was launched earlier this week and sends players fighting their way through Russia, Vietnam and Cuba.
While battling in the streets of Havana, players fire away at enemy combatants while in pursuit of Castro.
Cuban officials there have been more than 600 attempts by the United States to kill Castro since he took power in a 1959 revolution and turned Cuba into a communist state.
On the government-run website Cubadebate.cu, Havana said the game glorified actual US attempts to kill Castro and "stimulates sociopathic attitudes" among American youth.
"What the United States government did not achieve in more than 50 years, it now tries to do virtually," said the online story.
