This would require a faceslap... Germany, as far as i know, has one of the tightest laws considering violent videogames. - yes

@Vetteman: Denying the holocaust results up to 10(?) years in prison and the extreme right wing political parties are banned by law - not all are, but politicians often try to get the most prominent right now, the NPD, banned, by the way extreme left parties like the communistic KPD are banned aswell

 And, videogames that involve killing people are already banned in Germany. - no, that statement is wrong

@ Demotruk )

the Bundesverfassungsgericht (Federal constitutional Court - similar to the U.S. Supreme Court), judged that dennying the holocaust can only be used and is only used in "hate speeches" or better "Volksverhetzung"(U.S. law doesn't know a real equal to that actus reus), a serious crime in german law, therefore it's use obviously isn't covered by the german constitution's (Grundgesetz) freedom of speech
