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.

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?

wasn't there one story where the press totally misinterpreted (spun) the story so that they made it look like the murderer had the game, when actually, it was the victim, then press found out, and they never even bothered telling anyone about it?

yep.

They blamed the game, but the it was the victims game not the killers.

that one was fairly recent a few months back I think, or at least it was reported about recently.
