First person shooter-type game, except you play as a journalist in the warzone instead of a soldier. You have a reticle that represents where your camera is pointed, and you get more points if you get important stuff on film.

There can even be exciting story points like one of the armies targets you and other journalists and you have to escape, or you get captured.

Also, investigation is a core gameplay mechanic. Track down an important source, get them to talk, protect them.
