Manhunt 2 banned in UK
Yes, here we go again. A game which depicts a guy running around killing people in various ways has been banned from the UK. I am sure they are concerned that little Johnny in school is going to suddenly run amok and kill everyone in sight with a machete or plastic bag.

All this is fine in theory, but what about movies like Hostel and the Saw series which also do the same but in a more graphic way?

It personally disgusts me that a government and censorship bodies so clearly up their own backside have the audacity to decide it is fine to ban a computer game while allowing movies showing the same graphic violence free reign. Obviously the fact that people who kill others are _already_ mentally unstable and won't need the excuse of game content to commit acts of violence in the first place is a moot point.

I am sure most of you reading this have played quite a few violent games in your life, how many of you are killers? Shall we start a poll to prove a point?
