The banning of all video games in public by Greece had nothing to do with violence or anything else typically associated with banning. It was an overly ambiguous blanket law attempting to stop online gambling. |

McGovern1981 - I remember it, insomuch as I probably remember Duke Nukem 3D as the same game. Being fairly young at tht age, I might have watched my brother play. |

It's cool 5Cats.
Wait, "Doom Wiki" exists?
You know phrase "There's an App for that"?
Same applies for wikis. |

@Cajun: Thanks for the LOLZ! 
I didn't bother looking it up, I'm so sorry!!! (lolz!)
Killing that "spiderdemon" Boss was hard! Until I accidentally found the "sweet spot" (while cowering in fear)...

@Cajun247 Ah, yes, 200 armor, 100 health and the BFG9000. Life was good, then. I was referred to in those days by the computer lab geeks as Dr. Doom. |

@Matwix: It's a BFG from Doom, an old-time violent game
Most of these "bans" were pretty local or in very small nations, eh? Still.
That's a LOT of video-violence! Ban this post! |

They missed out Thrill Kill. Although it was never officially released, a beta version was widely available for "chipped" PS1. It was awesomely gruesome. |

They showed Mass Effect 2. The only lesbian sex scene available in the first Mass Effect is if you choose a romantic relationship with Liara.
if it didn't have that...thing
McGovern pointed out what it was, but I agree stupid. |

They're worried about violence when there are still atrocities out there like all Katie Perry based video games!

Also: Carmageddon still is one of the best games I've ever played. We took in a German exchange student for a year when it came out, loved it to death since it got censored to poo over in Germany. (I think they replaced the people with zombies and turned the blood green) but it wasn't banned outright. |

"No one has any bussiness saying how a game company wants to make its game."
The gaming industry is big business nowadays. The publishers, ie the people with all the money, call the shots now more than ever. |

I've seen a fair few transitions between clips, but this ranks as one of the worst. It would have been okay if it didn't have that...thing (it looked to me like a head) in the middle. |
