Such a game will not be appropriate for a long time--certainly the lifetimes of people who lost loved ones in the tragedy. No matter how patriotic or well-intentioned, it would inevitably be perceived as capitalizing upon loss and tragedy. But I can imagine that it might be a good time for fire-fighting games (Burning Rangers, anybody?) so long as they are carefully designed so as not to appear to be making specific reference to 9/11, simply because the heroic and hazardous aspects of fire-fighting were so recently highlighted for all of us.
