I don't understand how Clive Barker's Jericho can be released uncut in Germany but a game like Dead Rising was basically banned. Gears of War was basically banned there as well but I can see why in it's case.

Danke.

Cmon Germany, Viking: Battle for Asgard is right up your alley!

Ummm, no, sorry. Wrong culture. Try Scandinavia and there you might be right. 

Speak for yourself Fax, the Vikings settled all over europe during the middle ages, I myself have red hair and northern "Viking" blood... and I´m very proud of it... Vikings settlers made it all the way to northern africa and turke... they terrorized most of the continent and left their mark in lots of places including germany :)

history is fun :)

(auserdem mussen Germanen aller Länder zusammenhalten... aber nicht zu viel das ist schonmahl ausgeartet :)

well they did, yes, but not much of the Valhalla stuff has survived down where I live. Its as far as I know not even too much considered cultural heritage, as opposed to some other religions (Mithras?)

An interesting thing is, that Dance Dance Revolution is named Dancing Stage here in Germany. Why replace an english name for the german release with ... an english name? That makes no sense. Or do they fear the acronym DDR - I don't think that's a problem, we germans also buy DDR-RAM. So, what's your conspiracy theory, why they renamed the game for the german release.
