Dead Space 2: Bavaria wants to stop German release

Bavaria, a state in Germany, has decided to veto against the 18+-rating from German classification board USK. That means, that the rating board hast to repeat the testing process. USK has to rate Dead Space 2 again - for the sixth time, as EA rep Olaf Coenen told PC Games in a press release. Therefore the release of Dead Space 2 at the end of January 2011 not only is in jeopardy, but USK could decline a rating this time. EA started a petition to protest against this unheard-of development.

Dead Space 2 is a highly disturbing and violent game. I recommend no one under the age of 2 play it...and Germans.

velocitygamer4873d ago

I bet Germans also banned the Boogeyman from entering houses. Booga booga booga!

The Matrix4873d ago (Edited 4873d ago )

Velocitygamer are you an idiot??!??! You can't ban the boogeyman...that's like a legendary creature. There is no government regulation for something like that.

Deathstroke4872d ago (Edited 4872d ago )

They may have banned the Boogeyman but there is always a loophole...

Sidewinder-4872d ago

ahhh Velocitygamer, you just kick started my day.

MisterNiwa4872d ago

Well guys, you know, I can still import my games and Boogeymen.

velocitygamer4872d ago

Fail on my part on not realizing he was joking too :/

Dose Bavarians. Alvays making a fuss.

Masterchef20074872d ago

one state isnt going to prevent the game from being sold in all of germany. look at all the games that allowed you to play as the nazis that got released in germany. You think they are going to ban dead space 2 cause its a little 2 disturbing for them when they can tolerate people playing as nazis?

xtremegamerage4872d ago

I won't go into what the nazi's did, or the ss squad. It's actually alot worse then ds2.

But seriously games like this do need to be banned from children. I know alot of parents let kids play GTA4,COD black ops. And i mean kids. This is a horror game and meant to scare.

But to ban completely is stupid.

Spenok4872d ago

I hope this doesnt happen. This is looking to be a fantastic game.

Review - The Hungry Lamb: Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "I feel The Hungry Lamb is for a specific audience, though I can’t quite align with whom that might be. It’s not thrilling enough to land in constant VN recommendations, it’s got uncomfortable relationships which will put most people off, and the endings never hit the high note that satisfies everything. The twists are pretty recognizable from a distance, the voice acting is good, the character designs are alright and the pacing is decent. So many things rubbed me the wrong way and it makes it very easy to delete it from my PC concluding the review. Dive in if you must because of morbid fascination, but you’ve been cautioned: it’s a downward spiral without anything to make the trip worthwhile."
