Gears of War 1-2 can be bought in fact they havent banned a single game yet. Except Manhunt and such games. Its not that easy they have to change the laws. They first have to bring it through the federal court. Its not that easy but with such things they hope to get some votes of the conservative part of the Country. They even have to align this bill with the European rights. Because it would hurt the free movement of goods in Europe. So you could buy it without a problem in the UK/France/Spain/Italy via Internet (most of the Games are localized for all of Europe in Spain, French, English, German, Italian. The PS3 e.g has no country codes. Its almost impossible to apply such a law. They would destroy a part of the economy through this. The Import of Games would rise ( I havent bought a single game in Germany all my gaes are from the UK or Austria) And as soon as OUR Generation has the Power the law should be removed anyway.
On the Other Hand standard FSP/TPS are not the most popular games in Germany.
They even want to forbid Paintball. All that because of the second massacre.
PS: The German people know exactly everything what happened in WW1 and 2. I was 3 times in Concentration Camps. I saw a giant amount of jewish hair with the age of 10. I saw the Gas Showers. They discuss what happened, every single day in TV. Its almost impossible to zap between the channels without seeing a documentation about WW2. If you think that the germans dont know about their history you know nothing. If here is a demo of the Right Winged or NeoNazis you can bet on it that there is at the same time a 10time bigger demonstration against them. They have learned their lesson: Dont mess with the World.
Edit: It seems Gears wasnt released here. I even havent known this yet. Hmm maybe they have not released a lot of games but if so I cant feel a difference between forbidden games or not.
