Isn't it a little weird that countries are able to ban a game if they feel that it is unacceptable.I have heard of countires in Asia and now a state in Mexico banning games because they felt that they portrayed themselves in a negative way.Vegas was also apparently a little angry over the latest rainbow six game.This type of banning I can understand somewhat,but I don't think that it is terribly necessary.Its really just a game,not a political insult. Austrailia bans games though that they feel are too violent.How can they decide what is too violent?That I really cannot understand at all............Movies don't get banned the way they are banning videogames.(At least not nearly as much).I still respect their right to ban the games, but they should really thinkabout whether or not the banning of these games is necessary.These games really are not really portraying these places in a negative view anyway.They should at least lower the bar on what is acceptable in a game before banning it.
