It's about time some of these "games" that take violence to extremes are banned. The same thing needs to happen here in the US as well.

Yeah and any book that says something we don't like we can burn, and any person that says something we don't like we can burn. Lets burn them all, maybe the flames will purify us all the way back to the stone age.

Parents need to do their job, not the government.

  The move comes as, for the first time in 10 years, a video game has been 
  banned from British shops on the ground that it encourages extreme violence 
  and "casual sadism".
