GCHQ has launched a recruitment campaign on Microsoft's Xbox Live portal, aimed at "quick-thinking 18- to 34-year-olds". The six-week campaign features banner ads, video clips and static advertisements which give more information about GCHQ's work.
The campaign will also highlight some of the key roles within the organisation that might appeal to gamers, including fighting organised crime and targeting hackers. GCHQ hopes to fill around 250 positions in mainly IT and technical roles at both graduate and professional levels.
GCHQ said that many of its recruiting criteria are "reflected in gameplay experiences on Xbox, such as quick thinking, problem solving and team work".

Yer was wondering if this would happen of course with all the military games in use, I thought that was the whole point with military run corporate societies to invest in getting future war mongering activity.

That's exactly what we need. Secret agents running around calling each other "n00bs" and inferring all sorts about each others mums.
