The first person shooter which involves killing your work colleagues, has been cancelled due to the outrage of public and press.

Check out the Headline for more info.

What's the betting it'll re-appear fairly quickly after being "Banned"?

That marketing ploy hasn't been used in the past.. much..

At least we still have Postal 2

Why?

It makes me laugh. You'd think a violent film has never been made.

A truly ridiculous premise for a computer game in the first place.

I'm suprised they didn't can it earlier.

Brilliant, brilliant PR.

You can't pay for coverage like that.

I bet they hadn't even considered developing the game.

Remember Manhunt? They took it off the shelves and people were going crazy on Ebay to get a copy. There were some going for £60-£70, then a month or so later they were back on the shelves.
