From gamespot...
Heres the whole page... but nothing else relevant on it.
The have screenshots of the game too if you click the "horros of 9/11" link.
This is a disgrace... no one should be making terrible events into something that can be "enjoyed" by people.
RUMOR #3: Someone is making a videogame which will feature the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The official story: GameSpot could not reach Replay officials for comment.
What we heard: When posts with headlines such as "9/11: The Game" started popping up on various forums, many thought the game would an offensive creation by terrorist sympathizers, similar to the (unfortunately) abundant <EXTLINK href="http://uploads.ungrounded.net/content.php?id=50323&name=50323_bombgame.swf&title =The%20Suicide%20Bomber%20Game&date=1097208000&qua lity=b&uj=0&w=550&h=400">suicide-bomber flash games</EXTLINK>. Like most things in life, however, the reality was much more complex. According to Replay, the game, entitled Survivor, "is a third-person disaster survival game with highly interactive locations, based on famous, authentic-historical disaster scenarios." This will not only include the horrors of 9/11, but the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake, the 1945 Hiroshima bombing, and the sinking of the Titanic. Why would anyone want to experience any of these hellish events? "We call this unique genre 'Reality Gaming,'" goes Replay's sales pitch, "The highly original single-player game concept has never been seen before." Incidentally, the highly original single-player game has not yet found a publisher.
Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus.
