The MMA field has been dominated by an unchallenged UFC Undisputed these past two years, and it’s about time a competitor to the title of Best MMA Game arrived. That competitor comes in the form of the unoriginally named EA Sports MMA. If the history is to be believed, UFC originally approached EA to develop UFC’s official game but EA turned them down on the grounds it’s not a real sport. Reflecting on the success UFC Undisputed saw under the guidance of THQ, EA decided to venture into the market of MMA games.
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.

"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?

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.
awesome game!!!!! watching games online: brilliant idea!
