That was good. My only guess could be it was banned because of too much "skin" being shown. (even though I'm sure little kids see more when guys wear speedos at the local water park/beach.)

was banned never got to go on Tv...
pretty crazy, would have sold Xboxs :D
Saw it in UK. Not sure if it was banned here or not. Personally hated it. Made me see gaming as a waste of time when I should be doing important stuff - and I like gaming so I didn't like that.
I suspect overall the context would be more negative than positive on average.
I would be curious why it was banned. Was it banned or simply discontinued?
EDIT: it was banned.

"Another woman who had lost a baby during childbirth said it was an upsetting reminder of her own experience. "
That's fucking ridiculous. Should we ban all commercials involving war sequences just because some old vets have had some bad war experiences themselves? Dear God.
Nice find btw!

If I beat a game or a match (such as in chess or scenario in Civ3 or Advance Wars) then I actually feel like I accomplished something. I know it sounds pathetic but it is a lot more satisfaction than spending endless hours on MMO for a stupid item/weapon or endless matches of FPS. Sure I am guilty of getting into WoW and CoD WaW/BO on Wii but I eventually overcame those games and moved on. I view those games as not an entire waste but preventing me from completing other games (which is another problem considering I have too many so I lose focus sometimes on what to play and finish).
Why is this in the NSFW section? Is it because it shows nipple...?
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

While since I've played chess but totally get that. Winning is Chess against a decent opponent is a heck of a buzz. Basically you feel you've matched your intelligence and cunning against their's and after a lot of concentration your brain came out on top. TBH I never really got into MMOs. Tried WoW just to find out what is was like and soon grew bored. EVE was interesting but hugely tough to play casually and also a huge time sink.

It shouldn't. But Reasonable has the answer to why it did.
