There's a little controversy surrounding this game, namely because Dana White, the UFC's big public figure, claims that he approached EA several years back with a view to licensing the brand to them for yearly videogames. He claims, and these statements have been denied by EA, that they effectively laughed in his face and told him that the sport would never be big enough to warrant them launching a new franchise. Well, regardless of whether or not these facts are true, the guys behind almost every successful sports franchise in gaming have scrabbled together just enough non-UFC fighters to put out a competitor to Undisputed. Have they made the right decision, or should they have kept laughing?

GP writer Jared discusses four different games that were banned for insane reasons in different countries.
i lived in sweden before and they have TV ads about a phone provider with naked people. so how in hell can a DOA game be worse than that?
i cannot understand this world anymore.
Dora the Explorer: Unicorn Adventure ? That title alone is a good reason to ban the game.
Because stupid politicians don't know the the hell they're talking about and want to control every aspect of a person's life.
