Wow.... too bad they don't let britts have guns or they might be able to overthrow their nazi parlament. good thing you guys can move to the u.s.a. (as long as you dont mind a massive increase in crime rate!) ha!

Thanks Jack Thompson! And everyone else who blamed Manhunt for the killing.

With freedom comes excess. The more freedom you have, the less safe you are from the general public. Not like video games are any great problem. Violent video games have been around lets say 15 years (i know, i'm probably wrong) Don't you think if there was anything to this whole video games make terrorists bullsh*t, someone would have gone on a rampage by now? Sure, theres been Columbine and V-tech, but those guys were a little screwy to begin with. I wrote about this for my english thesis. The crime rate in americas the lowest it's been for like 30 years. No ones been killing in the name of Manhunt or Doom at all. While i'm sure any violent game will aggravate the situation, only if it's someone who really needs some help to begin with. Also, when did it become a national organization's problem to tell kids what they can and can't do? Hasn't that always been the parents problem? This same bullsh*t happens all the time, whether its prostitution, gun control, video games, or radio. Goddamn, swears are just words, not tools of corruption, sex is just a bodily function and violent video games are just fantasy. Deal with it Jack Thompson.

Good Luck people from UK. Never forget you can boycott your Gouvernment by illegal downloading, which could be in your eyes a "protest".

Well I think I could be getting a mod chip sooner than later. I was going to wait for my warranty to run out but this might make me change my mind now.

I feel sorry for the european fans, not only do they get releases late, but they live in a place where good video games dont get released.

hopefully GTAIV wont get the same treatment as manhunt 2 got.

i also frequent the video game website Destructoid and two of their editors [that live in england] are working to get support to show BBFC that they don't like this decision. i don't know how this site is about linking to the blog of the one who is starting this up, but i'm all about getting the word spread and help be garnered for what is truly right.
