Chief of Germany's national police union wants to ban violent games

Mar 17th 2009 3:14PM (Joystiq)GSG9 aren't going to appear anytime soon as they are a Police counter-terrorist unit and not military. They don't serve downrange bro, just inside German borders ;)
You could see the KSK though, but only if they don't have ridiculous rules of engagement in the game like all the Germans in A'stan do.

"Call of Duty 4, for all its pretty presentation and frantic multiplayer, lacks a compelling story and characters"
Got to disagree with with you there bud, I actually cared about what happened to some of those guys. As much as I enjoyed W@W it didn't fill me with enthusiasm, and at times it felt like a chore towards the end of the game. I couldn't tell you who I was fighting with as there was no character development at all, and the story couldn't be exapanded on due to being confined within the limitations of history. You know you will take Berlin and Okinawa, and by then you really won't give a shit about any other NPCs because they are dropping like flies all the time.
If anything, that's one thing that W@W does well, in by the end of it you become pretty much emotionally immune after going through the meatgrinder. In the end you just don't care anymore.
I do however agree MP on W@W does have a number of improvements over COD4. As much as many hate the dogs, everyone at least attempts to kill them unlike helos 99% of the time. Tanks suck major ass though, if they actually went that slow we'd have crossed the Rhine in about 1951.
British paper paying for game violence stories
Apr 4th 2008 10:23PM (Joystiq)However, I do hope they are successful in finding plenty of reprobates claiming their criminal conviction was as a result of playing a videogame, as it's actually a breach of UK media laws to pay a criminal for his story that resulted in a conviction. Maybe the Mail will learn to STFU when the fines start rolling in.

British Prime Minister worried over knives in video games
Jan 19th 2008 6:18PM (Joystiq)Banning things does not stop the problem, it merely creates another where there wasn't a problem before. I could just as easly kill someone with a sharpened pencil as a knife. What next, children taught to write using wax crayons in school?
I understand (to an extent) to what the PM is alluding to, when killing people with knives is an achievement in some games it clouds the situation. But this is another typical BS statement and inevitable kneejerk reaction by the government that will inevitably see their poor judgement further aggravate the issue as always. Once again it will be the tool that gets addressed and not the societal problem or the causes of it.
