I don't know of any games that were actually banned because of that, but there are always ones that some people want banned.

I think it's silly. Why not ban life? You can run real people over in a real car. Much worse than in a game.

1306061 2012-10-12 00:45:00 How about the horrible game (probably unheard of to most people) "ethnic cleansing"?
I would ban it.

That one IS banned.

because some people cannot disconnect virtual reality with RL. they "are" that stupid and screw it up for the rest of us.

They want something to complain about, why not campaign against drunk drivers or something else that's actually a problem.

I've seen many times on the police TV shows where they pull someone over who's driving drunk and then they mention that it's the nth time they've pulled the guy over for the same thing. Why are they even allowed more than 1 chance?

1306066 2012-10-12 03:11:00 I played and loved both of these, powerslide had awesome graphics (for its day) without stressing out the hardware too much.
Carmaggeddon may have been banned in some markets, it was just R rated here. You couldn't just run over people, you got bonus points for doing it with style or hitting multiple people in quick succession. And you could win a "race" without ever completing a lap just by wreaking carnage on pedestrians and livestock and taking out the other cars. If you found the american football stadium you could chase the team around the field and mow them down.

Political correctness be damned these games are fun.
