If you could, would you have pulled the trigger that killed Osama bin Laden?

Video-game maker Kuma Games wants to give you that chance with its new title "Kuma\War Episode #107: The Death of Osama Bin Laden," due out Saturday for PCs. According to its website, players will be able to playout the historic scenario as a Navy Seal who descends on Abbottabad to break into bin Laden's mansion, eliminate his guards and take down al Qaeda's leader.

Based out of New York City, Kuma Games is familiar with virtual war that targets real-life terrorist leaders -- it published a game allowing players to kill Saddam Hussein in 2005. Kuma specializes in transforming contemporary battlefiends and historical events into its video games. Kuma is able to insert bin Laden's character into the game with a fast turnaround because it has published 106 previous " Kuma War " episodes based in the Pakistan/Afgahnistan region, according to previous reports.

Other video game companies have received backlash for games featuring real-life war circumstances in recent months. In 2010 EA published "Medal of Honor" that gives users the option in the multi-player version to control Taliban fighters. The blockbuster "Call of Duty: Black Opps" was criticized for the player option to assassinate Fidel Castro.

In response to its previous games that depicts actual war scenarios in the Middle East, Kuma CEO Keith Halper said on the company's website; "At Kuma, we are sensitive and respectful of American and coalition soldiers and the sacrifices they are making every day. We hope that by telling their stories with such a powerful medium that we enable the American public to gain a better appreciation of the conflicts and the dangers they face."

Newgrounds.com, a user-generated gaming site, has had bin Laden death games since short after Sept. 11, 2001, such as "Bin Blaster," which published on Oct. 17 that year. Today, it posted a new game called "Nayan bin Laden," in which his head is attached to a nuclear war head. .
