Darksiders Banned In The United Arab Emirates? [Censorship]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...ksiders_01.jpgDarksiders seems to be the flavour of the month so far, its rugged charms leading to good review scores and media opportunities. Just don't tell that to the United Arab Emirates, who have reportedly banned the game.
No reason was given (because it seems no reason is ever given by the authorities), but if this report by Arab news site GamesLatest is correct, the title has been blocked from sale in the UAE, a collection of seven emirates which includes Dubai.
We've reached out to THQ for confirmation on this, and will update if we hear back.
