"Because they prefer killing 20 million of their own on their own? Good call."

That's clearly nonsense, but can someone explain why? Please, just sum it up for me...

"which is funny since the bible tells you to kill people who disobey the ten commandments..."

you'd best be joking.

Do western superpowers make Arabs murder their own wives, brothers and children when they do something that's not socially acceptable by their society? (like date their boyfriend, God forbid)
Do western superpowers make Arabs disregard their neighbors lives when they rampage through their own Arab village's streets with their cars? (at percentages which you can't even begin to imagine)
Do western superpowers tell Arabs to cut the hands of thieves and pull the eyes of other offenders?

These are not stereotypes... I live in the middle east and I live among Arabs. This is the way their society acts. The only reason you think these are stereotypes is because the hypocritical western media believes it should "balance" it's reviews by not telling you how things truly are.

When would Arabs start taking responsibility over their own actions and stop blaming others???

noamkot, I do not believe you live in the Middle East. And until you can prove that, I'm not going to believe you.

2:19AMAre the consoles themselves even released there? I haven't heard about that happening.

I think Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End for DS, is one of the very few current gen games available in Russian though

They maybe sterotypes but they are the law, yet not all 'islamic' countries abide by it, example (kuwait, bahrain, dubai...) maybe Saudia, which is where you might be. Yes you might get killed for doing something socially unacceptable , but it would happen america just as fast (read a newspaper), but how come America and Islam both have a death sentence?(isnt that worse then cutting someones hand) Well i am very sorry you cannot understand the arab culture and their reasons for doing such things, but at least we have a culture with a long history. I live in both areas,
and both are ruthless and cut throat as each other, maybe you should stop blaming arabs for their culture, but why are Americans Polluting the world so much, have the highest divorce rate, and the highest prison population, are the arabs to blame?
you seem to be getting 20/20 hindsight because your not looking at the big picture, everyone does it, not just arabs, terrorism, killings and everything else in between.

But about this topic and not bashing arabs cuz they are different. The game is interesting for its the first official game to be in arabic, since their were people who modded winning eleven (PES) to have arabic. But it will be a hit to the mothers who hate their kids playing 'english' games, but on the other hand won't matter cuz, no one buys originals here.

Josh, the ONLY explanation for his post is that he lives or has lived in the middle east - probably Israel - in which case I could understand his dislike towards the Arab nations. Generalizing an entire population with inhuman traits still makes me want to e-smack yo face, though. Hard.

I don't agree with what Israel has faced in the past, or what they're facing now. I've been to the middle east, though (lived in Israel for a short while with my father), and I've known plenty of people originating from Arab countries (including those who have spent most of their lives there) whose morals are hardly what you're claiming them to be.

@ Fatass
"you'd best be joking."

I'm not. Here is a single line from Exodus Chapter 21, verse 17:

"And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death."

Seems pretty harsh to me. There are many more like this too. It's amazing what you learn when you ACTUALLY READ the bible.

"The first game on PS3, PSP and Xbox 360 with an Arabic language option", this is what the game picture exactly states.

@al 6ayar:

True but not quite. I'm an Arab myself and I've been buying my 360 and PS3 games all original, although, there are ways to play non originals on Xbox and PS3 if I'm not mistaken. Plus, I know a close Arab friend of mine who owns something like 200 original PS2 games let alone PS3 let alone PSP let alone Xbox 360 let alone other Nintendo titles. I bet he's the only Arab who buys this much of original video games which are all btw NTSC (Region 1) and not PAL (the official standard in the Arab world).
