Security service targets gamers
A British intelligence agency has targeted a new generation of recruits by advertising in computer games.
The Cheltenham-based surveillance service GCHQ hopes to attract the attention of "tech-savvy" gamers.
Adverts featuring the GCHQ website are on billboards within Xbox 360 games such as Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
GCHQ said it hoped the campaign would "capture the imagination of people with a particular interest in IT".
