I guess they haven't seen Manhunt 1/2. Its bad news that such a great game like Darkness is banned /censored.

It is a real shame to see almost any game banned (note almost). I personly think that if a game is too extreme then just slap a higher rating on it, by doing that many publishers will think twice about publishing it (e.g. Manhunt 2) and thus sort out the problem themselves.

Its a shame, really.

I wonder if there are any penalties for possessing a banned game?
