I apologize if your offended by my comment. I am of German decent myself (and rather happy of it). I'm not trying to liken germany, it's people, or government to nazi ideologies (as I don't believe history would show us that Nazis was a germany-only problem. I liken it to marxism of the past century). It's merely a restrictive ideolgy. Plus we have plenty of Nazi's in the US that I am sure are not Germans. What strikes me as odd about the government decision to ban all games of every form that harbor any of the more "extreme" forms of violence, nazi images, ect, is that it's kind of random and dumb. In the United States, we learn about our terrible past and it's pushed in our faces every single day (racism). Rather than ban images of it, and blacklist the word, we embrace what makes us wrong, in order to better ourselves. I guess it's a cultural difference between Germany and the United states. Louie, I apologize, but my comments aren't aimed toward you, or anyone of the great German population. It's just merely that I cannot find a better party that restricted things in life outside of that (or unless you know of Pol Pot's regime?) I'll go ahead and edit my post. On topic: The reason I used such strong words about Germany are this: They are, by and far, the most restrictive country in the Western world (and most of the eastern world) when it comes to video game violence and content. Because of this, an otherwise PC friendly market (which can translate into 360 succuess), has been severly diminished. I cannot IMAGINE what kind of sales the 360 would of had stateside if we didn't have our million sellers in Gears of War, Dead Rising, and Call of Duty 2 and 3. I doubt the 360 would of done probably 80% or less of the total sales, as all the games germany has banned are million sellers.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
