German Politico Calls For Ban On Violent Games

GamePolitics reports that Germany's new coalition government wants to limit the development and production of violent games. From the article: "... Andreas Scheuer, a parliamentarian serving under the banner of the conservative Christian Social Union, told Der Spiegel that violent games 'have no place in Germany's bedrooms.' Scheuer added that parents must be responsible for what their children play, but that the German government could help less media-savvy parents by introducing a 'complete ban' on violent games. Along with movies, games are already subject to a rating process."

The Germans are just tired of seeing so many games where you are killing them. I mean if there were an entire genre of games where you were, say, a British soldier fighting the American rebellion, you think we would be pissed about it?

That being said, can't wait to fire up CoD:Big Red 1 and get back to killing Nazis...
