Distributors have halted the sale in Britain of the video game Law and
Order: Double or Nothing, following complaints from Denise Fergus, the
mother of the murdered toddler James Bulger, that it appeared to include a
CCTV image of her son being abducted.
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".
Manhunt 2 has been made illegal to sell by the British Board of Film
Classification (BBFC) for its "unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal
slaying".
The BBFC said of Manhunt 2 that the game "constantly encourages
visceral killing with exceptionally little alleviation or distancing".
