I don't see why that's a problem.I disagree with stuff being banned because someone else thinks it's bad for me. I notice these people never, ever want to ban things that they think might be bad for them, only for other people. It's incredibly patronising.

yes to a degreebut a game like this should be sold in a (for want of a better idea) porn shop, then it MIGHT limit kids actually seeing and being exposed to the content.
But by not selling this game then kids WON'T see it, because some chav will play it at somepoint in front of his kids, or will let them play it and i think that this is what they're trying to limit
(not just chavs, they were the best example i could think of)

Intelligence shops FTW!Selling mature content books, films and games for those who are mentally capable of handling it.

the question is:how do you determine that someone is mentally capable of handling something like that?
it's going to have some sort of effect somewhere on someone... and then it'll be the same old argument "the video game made me do it"
Maybe the ratings boards should be less Lords and Ladies, include some "normal" people that can weigh in.
(i'm still happy its banned btw)

Simple spychological assessmentIf people want access to nasty stuff then they will probably pay for the exam from a state registered psychiatrist/psychoanalyst.
Get a nice shiny "I am bright" card at the end of it and bobs your uncle, you can play serial killer games to your hearts content

Maybepeople shouldn't be stupid enough to think that video games can turn someone into a fucking lunatic.

Fair enough to restrict itI don't agree with censorship on principal.
I definitely think there should be a 30 certificate. Give it half a year and I'll probably agree with a 35 certificate too.
