The most anticipated game of 2009 caused controversy on various levels (see below), though most recently after a 48-year-old judge in the UK pulled a sickie to tear the sellophane from his shiny new copy and plough through the campaign. You, sir, are guilty as charged...
In addition to the usual debate over violence in games, the now infamous airport level prompted the word 'outrage' to be printed in large bold letters in newspapers across the land. It sees the player go 'undercover' to join a group of terrorists carrying out an attack on civilians in an airport. The makers of the game admit the scenario was meant to shock, but with the intention of making the player consider the horrors of war and the potential moral dilemmas to be faced in fighting terrorism - adding that violent movies rarely make the same effort.
What are your thoughts on violence in games?
