Sony has patented "shock and awe" as a trademark for computer games

    However, the Sony game is only the tip of the iceberg as the 
    US market is set to be flooded with goods ranging from T-shirts, 
    toys, board games, train sets sunglasses, mugs and fireworks 
    branded with slogans such as "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and 
    "Battle of Baghdad". 

    But a British company is also planning a computer game, books, 
    cards and magazines based on the war, called "Conflict Desert 
    Storm II: Back to Baghdad".
