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.

No. Why should I. If you wish to read my inane, and innaccurate Babble you must accept the eccentricities of the author. I also shift randomly into ignoring capital letters on this sight. Its those crazy input boxes, they look so bland so they do my head in. So unless its a blatant GAD attempt , or i am in a perfectionist mood you are unlikely to be graced with paragraphs

I am outraged! I was just playing GTA and I had to kill hundreds of people, who of 97% seem to be white, in a mission! This is outrageous it is Rascism.
You wouldn't see this in Newsround though, because they don't care what they look like in that, it is a terrible game, yet they never mention anything about the colour of the people. How do we know that those people at Rockstar aren't Rascist, eh?

No.4 is a very good point I'd never actually thought about.

I reckon you should write to newsround, you've got a great case there. Well said!

its in PC Gamer as well. I haven't actually read it.


Secondly sorry for the moronic effort. It is actually a sikh temle. As i thought. I was typing Sikh and my mate on MSN who i was talking to Bet me a fiver that it was a hindu temple, so i like a fool wrote that. After checking it is indeed Sikh, but at least i'm a richer fool now!
