A new downloadable game lets players take on the role of infamous Australian politicians who have been working to ban and censor video games in their country. It's called Ban This Game.
With the immense popularity and controversy over the cancellation of Sony’s formerly upcoming comedy The Interview, censorship is a huge topic and in the spirit of said news Relevant Gaming decided why not do what journalist do best, and create a list for your amusement
Manhunt 2 was also censored to the point the executions were obscured by a filter. There was a code that did remove them I believe. Censorship in gaming is stupid when the cinema genre is filled with everything from extreme violence to extreme vulgarity to extreme sexual content. Gaming should be treated the exact same was as any other form of entertainment.
It was primarily the wii version tho mostly because of the motion controls which some were pretty badass. I brought the game stricly just to play it with the motion controls which made it so much better lolololol
I love in Australia they won't show what's happening but have no problem explaining it. A crying koala makes it all better?
Glad it was made but I probably won't bother to play it.
I'll play it while I listen to "Steal this Album" by System of a Down.
If the politicians in Australia think they can keep this stuff out, they are wrong. Look at prohibition in the US. People will find a way. They just made it illegal to do anything legally!?!?
