Ad critic: Hitman ad titillates, but is it a murder/sex sim?
Apr 11th 2006 5:02AM (Joystiq)PC Gamer (At least in the UK) can not be bought by anyone under the age of 15, LAW. The magazine carries a 15 rated BBFC mark, first brought in because of the content supplied on the demo disc and has since allowed for the magazine to be more adult.
There are haters who instantly jump to the claim that Kids shouldn't be able to see this, they could easily read this and see it elsewhere. Well i'm not sorry at all for the next comment but thats bad parenting and irresponsibility at its finest.
The game will no doubt carry a BBFC certifcate when it comes out, restricitng sales to a minor but as a member of Video Game retail I know full well it won't stop the kids from getting hold of copies of the game, simply because parents IGNORE any warning we give regarding the games content.
Should parents be more responsible of what they let there kids read, watch and play I would hazard a guess that more companies would be willing to place advertisements similar to this one for their own titles. As an adult gamer, the adverts telling me I should look forward to the next Hitman title, I was anyway. I can't wait untill someone from the Daily Mail or The Sun gets hold of it either just to re-iterate what a previous poster said
