What do you think about Manhunt being banned in Australia? In general, I'm not about banning entertainment products, like Clockwork Orange in the UK, but that game seems just gratuitous enough to fit my definition of what crosses that line enough to be banned - "you know it when you see it". That kind of lying in wait murder -- the type that gets you Murder One rather than Murder Two in California, is pretty despicable, and I suppose a country looking out for its children may have the right to throw down some regulations to restrict or prohibit their access to it. Any thoughts?

I can't complain. Video games like that seem to tarnish the industry as a whole in the eyes of concerned parents. And little kids need to be kept the hell away from stuff like that.


I reserve the right to be entirely wrong.

I don't agree. I think censoring is wrong. The game is for an adult audience. The same as an eighteen film. It is up to retailers to control the sale of these games. To stop a level headed adult playing this game is fundamentally wrong. Mad

Banning is wrong! It also makes kids even more interested in seeing what all the fuzz is about.

Didn't they ban Postal 2 too in some terrioties?

I hate the way they ban games and films.
If people don't want to see blood, gore, and disturbing images they can turn off their T.V.

Forget what I said, I didn't read the conversation.
I agree with K-Bee.
