Gears of War 2 banned in Germany, Japan
Microsoft has confirmed that Gears of War 2 will be “banned” in both Germany and Japan. Per standard operating procedures in these situations, the title was refused a rating, which means it cannot be sold in the country. The news isn’t exactly shocking considering the original Gears of War was also verboten in Deutchland.
The Germany ban was expected, but the Japanese one is a little surprising. It could have been the violence was just too over-the-top for the ratings board there — even with the game’s optional gore and language filter.

I wonder how much this will increase inter-country travel for them. Or internet sales? It’s gotta be like prohibition. You know these guys will still get their hands on the game, yeah?
