To copy another comment verbatim,
""Mr Vaz said: “It is intolerable that anyone would purchase a game that simulates the criminal offence of rape."
What about the crime of carjacking, or murder, or soliciting?
I don't really want to play devil's advocate here but that statement kind of stood out as absurd. Why is this virtual crime any worse than another?

Rape is bad, yes. I wouldn't buy this crap, but we're getting in to thought police territory here. If the graphics were a bit better I mite buy it.

yeah and if you could upload pics of your friends.
I had an idea for facebook that allows you to select a friend, upload a pic of them to the game, film you raping them virtually then post a notification on their wall "zomg! you've been raped! click here to see who raped you and rape them back!".
Faceraep TM - You think it might take off?

And the entirety of asia
you'd have to change it to just verbally abusing to get it accepted over here.
"zomg! one of your friends hates you and wants you to die! click here to find out who and start a slagging match."

It's different because it singles out a group as the target of violence
namely, chics.
I take your point that GTA etc. enable you to fuck and fillet ladies of negotiable hospitality, but it's not the aim of the game and probably not the explicit reason (most) people buy it.
Dunno if violent computer games create violent individuals. But if I were a lady prostitute I think I would be a lot more distressed to know people were buying this than GTA.
