Parliament member Vaz wants to ban Resistance too
In recent weeks, two video games have come under fire from various sectors in the society, with some coming from the video game industry itself. If you’ve been living a rock, these two titles are PlayStation 3’s Resistance: Fall of Man, and Manhunt 2 for Nintendo Wii and PlayStation Portable.
The issue with Resistance involves the in-game church that closely resembles Manchester Cathedral in northwest England. The church took offense, Sony said sorry, and the church said it was okay provided that certain conditions will be met.
In Manhunt 2‘s case, UK authorities banned it for the game’s “casual sadism” and it’s still up in the air what will happen to its U.S. release. Anyway, the latest development about these two is that Member of Parliament for Leicester East Keith Vaz is very much happy with UK’s decision and even referred to the move as “excellent”.
He also mentioned that the authorities should ban Resistance in the UK as well. Vaz is no stranger to things like these and were pretty certain that his words do hold some weight. If you are unfamiliar with the guy, he is actually a British Labor Party politician and led the campaign against the original Manhunt back in 2003. We’re still not sure how this will turn out, but rest assured we”ll be the first to report any updates regarding this.
