| 687882 | 2008-07-11 07:06:00 | Just in on tv 1, Winston wants to ban R18 and R16 games, because they promote gangs. This includes Halo! What is up? One News greatly generalized the violent acts of Grand Theft Auto, where as only very few R rated Games are actually like that. R16 Games too? that means Halo, Call of duty 4, Assassins Creed. These games hardly deserve to Banned outright. | Windsurfingfreak (13700) | ||

| 687885 | 2008-07-11 08:08:00 | Just shows him to be an ignorant twat, any presumed support from such a statement would be nothing compared to the instant back lash. Does he have any idea how many gamers of voting age there are? | Metla (12) | ||
| 687886 | 2008-07-11 09:16:00 | Watched that, they said because it encourages young people to join gangs. Well I haven't joined one, neither has my son and he has been playing violent games since he was 7. Utterly stupid, how could he ban them anyway, stop them making them? I'd just order from overseas....... |

I got cod4 so if he bans it that would really suck... |

| 687890 | 2008-07-11 10:07:00 | My boy isn't even 4 yet and he wont shut up about the damn xbox, Though there is no way he gets to play violent games. After watching me play Smackdown Vs Raw he elbowed me in the face. ....Though doing that and body slams has always been a favourite past time of his. I have learnt to never close my eyes........ :horrified And I started gaming on an Atari 2600, way back in the day, I must have been about 7, and I turned out fine, Just fine. Fine says I, Just fine, Fine. |

| 687891 | 2008-07-11 21:10:00 | A bit misleading title to this thread. NZ are not going to ban R16/18 games. It is just a proposal if they ever get into a position to ever do so, which is fairly unlikely. :) |
