Germany is why Twisted Metal got censored in Europe (although I do realise it was Sony's decision to apply the censorship to the whole of the PAL release, it still blows).

So this doesn't surprise me. Although going one step further and banning it completely seems ridiculous.

Angelus will be angry.

you know... it's germany. not surprising.

can they still buy it digitally?

and your like "thank got im not german, thank god im not german!"

Yeah. If "banning" is used correctly in the article you won't even be able to legally import the game into Germany.

Indexed games are not to be advertised in any way in Germany, but you can still legally possess them.

Banned games are to be confiscated and destroyed. Mere possession is illegal.

You know, Spain has its share of flaws. But it's a pretty open-minded country when it comes to this.

There are european versions of certain games on which the Spanish version is the only one not censored.
