Gears Of War banned in Germany. - Nov 01, 2006 01:06

I feel sorry for the germans. First Dead Rising got banned and now Gears Of War? That' s the hottest titles for the 360 at the moment.

Ps: Hope noone posted a thread like this already :X

It' s not " banned" ,you can buy it any gamestore when it comes out,however no store can adv for it,so basically they have it in theoir storage area,and you ask for it and they take it,much like other games/console at some stores.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Germany is just trying to be really careful after that whole " Hitler" incident.

Well, after watching those multiplayer videos of the game at, uh, gametrailers (was it?), I' m not really surprised, I mean damn, the games more violent then I thought it would be.

Sure I' m still getting it, but I' ll double check to make sure my 4yr old sister isn' t in the room while I play.

So true, majority of the videos I saw of it were just blood splatters...the MP videos took it to a whole new level...amazingly violent.

Yeah, that' s true. I mean what do you expect from a game with 18+? (Although everything is 18+ nowadays.) Just don' t buy it! It' s like postal. I know i can buy it, but i dont want to. Im banning the game in my head.
