"In EA Sports MMA, I pummeled my opponent’s face for 20-seconds straight. It was like punching a mound of clay, and the only mark left was tiny scratch above the eye. "
8CN: It's December 5, 2014 and, (for all you history nerds out there), that means it's officially been 81 years since Prohibition ended in the United States. To ring in such a special occasion, we decided to take a look at 5 famous video games that were (and in some cases still are) banned by other countries.
Jef writes, "Video games are art, and art usually has people in power clutching their pearls and trying to blast said art out of sight lest thought invade the inner sanctum of comfortable status quo. Ah, censorship, no matter how many times we patiently explain to our overlords that the surest way to spread an idea virally is to try and cover it up (And it goes double with things like video games), they just keep on keeping on with that iron fist.
"The list of games that various administrations have waged war against is massive, and it's usually because of objectionable levels of sex or violence. Then there are stranger reasons, and today we salute them."
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.
Really interested to get my hands on this game and see how it stacks up to UFC Undisputed
meh...not a fan of this genre
I know its still early, but is this really what it looks like? Seems bland.
Clay Fighter 63 1/3
It will be sad if they don't add blood.. mma is a mature sport anyway so why not make a mature game? Interesting to see the article writer mention that characters move realistically.. in all the videos i've seen so far they all seemed to move extremely sluggishly and the whole fighting just seemed to lack the punch that ufc undisputed has. Personally I think this will flop if from what i've read and seen turns out to be accurate but I hope EA prove me wrong!
