Game News - UK Police Doesn't Like Reservoir Dogs

Game News - UK Police Doesn

If we take a minute and start making the calculations, we can see that lately, a lot of people don't like games anymore. Before we had just the parents. But now we have White House officials fighting against games. The latest to hate these are the UK authorities.

"Reservoir Dogs", the Eidos Interactive game was set for an October release in Australia, but not anymore. The game has been banned by the Aussie ratings board because it seems the game is "ultra-violent."

Now the game is causing another "fight", but somewhere else on the planet and from another area. The police are attacking the game. Several British police chiefs said the game is too violent toward police officers, reports the Yorkshire Post.

"Players can take police officers hostage and go on to burn out their eyes with a lit cigar, chop off their fingers with a cigar cutter, and hack off their ears using a scalpel, while the police officers plead for their lives and scream in pain," says the Post.

The game is called a "sickening glorification of violence against police officers", by the West Yorkshire Police Federation chairman Tom McGhie. "It's impossible to see how such a game can have anything other than a highly damaging effect on how people perceive and react to police officers."

Conclusion: these days, only Nazis and aliens are free to be blasted away in games.
