One title which is currently banned by the Australian Classification Board baffles me.
Dirty Wars: September 11
This is a historically themed game set during the Cold War in South America. It is essentially a political critique of Pinochet.
It does contain scenes of "torture" and "dead bodies, but come on, it's a video game.
1) Video games are not linked to violence. The science shows this clearly.
One study even showed there is less violence after a game is released, presumably because people who'd be out committing crimes are instead preoccupied.
2) Come on, people are responsible and mature. They can handle a few pixels on a screen.
3) It's probably not even this. There are probably drugs or something in some obscure corner inside the game which is setting them off.
