A Far Cry from German Approval

The Far Cry Website (thanks Frans) has word that the non-localized version of Far Cry has been pulled from German shelves, to be replaced by the version that adheres to stricter German regulations about game content:
In accordance with German law, www.farcry.de and its forums have been pulled down following Far Cry's ban (US/UK version) in Germany. They will remain shut until the German version of Far Cry is released, which has the official youth rating by the German USK.

We apologize to our German community for any inconvenience this may cause and hope things will resume their normal course shortly.

At least not untill we come and annex whatever shitty country you live in, then you can bitch. It won't do you any good, but you will have carte blanch resons to do so.

It's interesting how you so accurately reflect the exact nature of you current government: "We are the biggest nation in te world and we have every right to take over you country if we want to. We will lie to our people about how many nasty weapons they have so they think we are right. And noone can STOP US! Your bases all belong us! MWHAHAHAHA!!"

Sad.

On a side note:
The US military prison at Guantanamo, Cuba, violates the human rights of the nearly 600 prisoners detained there who have no access to lawyers, leading Spanish judge Baltazar Garzon said on Friday.

"None of the fundamental human rights that the prisoners should have is respected," said the judge whose extradition request kept Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet under house arrest in London for 503 days.

"These persons must be placed at the disposal of civilian judges immediately," he said during a lecture given at the invitation of Costa Rica's Supreme Court.

The United States calls the Guantanamo detainees "illegal combatants" suspected of fighting for Al Qaeda or the Taliban.

Mr Garzon also criticised the US reaction after September 11, 2001, which was to pass repressive anti-terror legislation.

"It restricts fundamental freedoms in the broadest sense, contrary to the US tradition."

The United States "has gone overboard, become intolerant and deprived people of their fundamental liberties," he said.

The police and judicial systems are critical to the battle against terrorism, he said, but they cannot use the same weapons as terrorists."
