"Hindu over reaction at Hitman 2"

Ok, no offence to hindus but why are they having a go at hitman 2? How can they brand a game racist or immoral, claiming that the game is developed by men of mainly christian denomination, who have ignored the basic foundations of the Hindu faith, when pacifism is the Issue in hand. Christian faith is clearly a religion which is based around the issues of love and pacificism "love thy neighbour" "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, but yet i tell you to forget this". Yet to you see a mass uproar of christians campaigning over the fact that the first and last levels of Hitman 2 are perhaps the most violent in the game and involve in church massacres. The fact of the matter is that this is just a GAME, if you are immoral enough to run around with your silent berretta, double tapping bad guys in the head, and in game action actually singnifies desanctifying and commiting sin, then you are already immoral and sinful anyway according to the same logi, that in game actions reflect what shouldn't happen in life. Some people have gone way to far in there protests over the this game, and i hear some large chains have removed it from their shelves. This is clearly ridiculous. Mafia features a massacre at a funeral one of the holiest events in christian beleif where the body and soul are commited to God's care; yet there was no uproar at this. Some people need to face the reality that not everything needs a large reaction, and that somethings are really just harmless fun. Are they saying that, Violence and cold blooded murder is OK its only the location that matters? no, i don't think so. So its clearly a ridiculous over reaction.

Hehe - the only two places Bush could spot on a map, are Texas, and the big red "X" on the right where he's going to fire his missiles. ;)

I'm slouching for some time now - it's my "waste your life infront of the TV after finishing a website and not having to work for another few weeks" state of mind. ;)

Hey ! you're posting messages like the rest of us, at a time when a majority of people are at school, colege, uni, work e.t.c. Me ? My lecturere person has the flu :) That's not a :) because he's got flu BTW, but because it means free day.

I was really surprised it didn't get a BBFC rating, in it's own way it's more violent than GTA because it's more realistic and who you can kill. In GTA it's at least possible, if you wish, to not have to kill innocent people, but in Hitman 2 ? Postman, delivery people, civlians, all are fair game with little penalty for taking them out.

Didn't want to be picky about the rating thing, but thought I'd point it out. Like you say, idiot BBC people will not know anyway, but I think Bush does know where Britain is on a map, wouldn't like to bet on the rest of Europe :P

Oi you little bint!
Who was it who started this topic, oh that's right, it was you. :P

There is nought wrong when Babble layeth the smack down, especially when it's directed to pin-headed gimps, such as the variety found at BBC HQ.

Oddness... could've sworn it was a BBFC 18, but oh well. Fishing time methinks.

Not that it matters much, whoever reads the e-mail is about as likely to know as Bush is able to point out the UK on a map of the world, besides - they'll be too busy crying at my harsh comments. :D

Cheers, Bell. ;)

Pointless Babble, there is one slight flaw in your argument to the BBC, it is ELSPA 15, not BBFC 18, bizarely, I checked out Amazon and they have the same info, and are still selling it :)

Good enough reason in my book ;)
Heck, if their researchers are that naff, they deserve to be yelled at perpetually.
