Does Modern Warfare 2 go to far? Could it be banned?

By Gavin Mannion

First up apologies for the absolutely awful video that follows after the break, seeing as that it’s the PS3 version of the game I can safely assume it’s not a pirated copy but rather just some reviewer who is breaking the embargo on releasing footage. Secondly this video gives away the entire first chapter of the game so don’t click …

I’m psychic – Bioshock 2 banned in Australia

Bioshock 2 hasn’t yet been rated by the imbeciles in the land down under but I will bet my bottom dollar that it gets banned. I can say this with confidence as the British rating board has just released its rating and has rated Bioshock 2 as an 18+ title. Mainly according to the BBFC because the game “contains strong …

It hasn’t even been released yet and already Left 4 Dead 2 is one of the most controversial games of all time. From the moment it was first announced fanboys around the world have been upset stating that it should have been an expansion and now fans in Australia are about to go postal.

Canada losing the plot? – No more English only titles

Okay I can understand that cultures and countries want to keep their individuality and are worried about the big bad Englishman taking over… okay no I don’t understand it at all. It’s a language, if you don’t like it then don’t buy English products. This isn’t being forced on you… unless that is you live in Canada. So if you …

Gears of War 2 may or may not be releasing in Japan. Huh?

Reports have been going around the internet saying that according to EDGE magazine, Gears of War 2 will not only not be released in Germany but will not see the light of day in Japan either. The report caused much confusion because the first Gears of War sold well in Japan and even made it into the sales charts on it's opening weekend and no reasons had been given for why it would be kept out of Japan. We all know why Germany isn't getting it. It's because if a German citizen sees violence they turn into zombies that eat all of the neighbours kittens and the mess is truly a sight to behold. We all know that Japanese people are immune to becoming zombies because of the (Y12/7 +43ab - 7) chromosomes in their blood. So why aren't they getting it? More after the jump. Well an update has now been posted saying that Microsoft is not entirely happy with what they said and that apparently no mention has been made of the release plans for Japan. Does that mean Japan is getting it after all? Err, well, no it doesn't but it does at least give hope to all the Japanese 360 owners who want to play it (latest reports show that there are now more that 8, thanks to recent sales).

Duke Nukem 3D Banned… in Japan?

By Gavin Mannion

This is not a good sign for South Africans… Duke Nukem 3D has been given an Adults Only rating in Japan which effectively means it has been banned from appearing on the Xbox Live Marketplace. While that doesn’t mean anything to us directly it does raise the fears that Germany will also decide that badly pixilated nudity and less than …
