I feel that this country is too soft and left wing...
If a company make a game that is for 18+, then what is the problem? 99% of 18 year old + members of society wouldn't even think twice about it and certainly wouldn't go around mindlessly killing people because they saw it on a game or even a film.
If the BBFC are concerned about teenagers being infulenced by such games, then why aren't they actually prosecuting the parents of those teenagers for allowing their child to play such a game (and most likely would have bought it for them). the same should go for alcohol and other things. (but it doesn't)
And seriously - if a teenager is going around with a gun, why wouldn't the parents be responsible??? Oh no - surely the developers are to blame for their out-of-control kid and should be punished. How dare they push the boundaries....on a game!!! It's just a game dudes!!
Also - I wasn't intereted in this game until all this cafuffal (however it's spelt) but now I seriously want it - I bet it's fantastic "Fantasy" game play!

Blame the Parents, Not the Developers
I just wanted to add my comment on this matter.
