Crackdown Banned In Germany

January 6th, 2007
Ah, those Germans, they’re at it again; banning violent videogames like no other country. They effectively banned Dead Rising last summer, then a few months ago Gears of War was banned, and now another Xbox 360 game is officially banned, Microsoft’s upcoming GTA clone Crackdown. The German ratings board, USK, refused to give the game a rating, for the same reasons they refused to give a rating to Dead Rising and Gears: it’s too violent. This means that Crackdown cannot be displayed or advertised in stores, although they can technically be sold. However, many stores chose not to sell unrated games at all.
