Because the USK is lead by a bunch of douchebags. They consider some to be far too violent and if the developer doesn´t anything the game get banned. But then other ultraviolent games get a pass.

Strange, I know Germans to be as "by the book" as they come.

Why did you get the worst from the 3 original ps1 games?

Not the most impressive price on RE6. Quite a few retailers are selling it for 15pounds, i think play-asia currently has the US version for $19 as well.

Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil CVX (not available in Germany)

most likely getting this or the super bundle :p

Already got 1-4, I'll pick up CV if it's discounted though.

You are allowed to buy most of these games in Germany. The problem is that you cannot advertise them in any way or present them on the shelves, so most publishers either don't bother releasing them, because they would sell like crap or the developers make massive changes to the game.

There are only few notable games that are truly banned in Germany. Mostly those that either glorify National Socialism (older PC games) and those that glorify violence (still present).

Those are banned games:

There are lots of older games missing in their lists though.

oh YES.. i was waiting for something like this to happen so i can indulge my self into some resident evil time. i'm buying the resident evil 1,2 and 3 bundle pack for my Vita to enjoy the games that defined survival/Horror genre back in the day :D
