"Hitman 2 banned!"

PC World and Woolworths have now banned Hitman 2 from there stores as it has been branded racist, becuase you kill terrorists in turbans.

Seems stupid, if its true - we sell GTA VC, Conflict Desert Storm, Splinter Cell - soon, and a whole host of games where people of different ethnic origins die.

Actually I just posted a topic in the PS2 forum about that, apparently they are gonna withdraw Vice City too.

7youm xcan still bguty it vbujt my fat finbgers stop m3e t6yp8ingt

All of this info came off of Newsround by the way!

But wouldn't killing terrorists be a good thing?

You sure about that ? 'Cause we still had it on sale yesterday in the Woolworths I'm at, and nothing came through on fax or emails about it. Ah, probably just our incompetence :)

It's not really banned, they just stopped selling it. You can go to anywhere else and buy it.

Don't you just love knee-jerk reactions to games?!

I thought it was being recalled by the makers and then changed?

Yeah...

Well. That's ok.

Just so long as they ban Vice City too for the killing of people in pastel suits with the sleeves rolled up.

It is offensive towards my fashion culture.
