Balls (http://wiibreak.com/news.php?id=1211) :mad:

If its not banned in Ireland, ill sort you out. WITH A HUGE HANDLING FEE OF COURSE.

But it probably will be banned here, cuz I can't see our censor deciding to do any work of his own.

[Freebasser]

Tis banned in Ireland too, apparently :/

[roosta]

fucking knew it.

Lemmings.

Speaking of Lemmings, that was a fun game.

What a bunch of reactionary cunts.

Lawlz. I must admit I'm never bothered by a bit of gore but, cmon, Rockstar were just taking the piss with this one.

[Parkey]

Doesn't your mate work for Rockstar? Any inside info...?

[Big Gus]

He works for Rockstar North in Edinburgh, it's some other development team that does this one. I think it's Leeds.

Al wont even give me any decent GTA IV info. :( He say's it's more than his jobs worth.

This game will get a PAL release anyway, in France or Spain. They wont give a shit. Germany only ban WWII games. Just import one.

It scored 92% on some big gaming site i read last night. Cant remember which.

What a bunch of reactionary cunts.

Another top story on BBC tonight - apparently a game based on Law and Order used an image of James Bulger being led away by Thompson and Venables and has been withdrawn from shops. The company apolgised and promised to edit out the image, but that's not enough - James Bulger's mother wants the game BANNED. The fuck why?

Just import one.

Exactly. Banning it here is only going to HELP the sales of Manhunt 2. When people are told they can't have something, they want it more - human nature an' all that. People are going to import it as soon as it's released over there just to see what all the fuss is about. Just like bleeping out swear words in music encourages kids to find out what indeed rhymes with "duck" "luck" and "suck", so banning a game because it's violent will encourage people to play it to see just how violent it is.

I don't know about you, but when I was a kid I was told that if somebody pissed you off, you ignored them because it made them get bored and go away.

The best one recently, even better than this Manhunt story, is the Church of Manchester suing Sony Europe for using a map of one of their churches in "Resistance, Fall Of Man" on PS3.

Hang on I'll get a link. God Vs Gamers. LOL.

*edit* Here - it was only a week or so ago.

What was most despicable about that was the links they tried to draw with Manchester having a gun problem. IT'S A WORK OF FUCKING FICTION YOU TWATS!

Honestly.
