British censors have banned a violent video game from the UK for the first time in a decade.

what a load of rubbish, blamed for a murder, yeh right, a video game makes some one go out and murder :rolleyes:

I'll be getting this game now just to see what the fuss is about, with american download sites and filesharing, banning things do nothing, but drive it underground.

I hate hearing about this it's so pathetic. We are becoming such a nanny state, wrap everyone in cotton wool and the bad things wont happen.

I've decided to stop playing colin mcrae dirt because it's giving me huge urges to go out and drive through the countryside at 100mph.

I like how the police have already stated that the game was not responsible for the murder mentioned in the article, rather it was robbery. I think you're right if this game is released in the US then a lot of UK gamers will be downloading it just to laugh at the censors.
 
Banning something imo just makes people want it more. Same as putting an 18 rating on a game. All 12 year old think, wow i must have it because 18 games are cool.

i loved carmageddon when i was younger.

"i was in the war" splat!
 
I hate reading about this sort of stuff. It's complete rubbish.

Do we ban violent movies? NO. I could go to the cinema and watch quite disgusting things.

Why games? Are they an easier target? Why was a 14yr old playing a game rated 18+? Stupid parents!!!

You need violent games to channel and vent your emotions, it's a good way to release stress or anger.

A game does not make someone murder someone else, an un-hinged and socially unstable person does! It's all about upbringing and society.

Oh aye, blame the games though, please people now-a-days have such a knee jerk reaction to everything. :rolleyes:

A) can we have an article,

and
B) are you trying to say that a kid doesn't know that hitting some one is wrong, that also hitting someone has consquinces of hurting/injuring or killing them

C) that this incident was the games fault?

i played the first man hunt and have not killed anyone yet
 
I killed 50 people after playing the first game. I was really looking forward to playing this one and seeing what new ways I could kill my new neighbours with.

He isn't trying to say anything. The parents of the fourteen year old victim made the above allegations, however.
