Germany which has always been hard on violent video games (Unreal Tournament 2003 was blacklisted for a long time and only after a revision found the way back to the shelves, albeit with 18+ rating), is now preparing the final move to ban all violent shooters. Ministers of all 16 federations have agreed and the motion is expected to pass in parliament over the next weeks.
The law would result in no Call of Duty, no God of War, no Crysis, no World of Warcraft, no BioShock, no Uncharted, and no Grand Theft Auto. The law is hoped to come into effect before the country’s federal elections in September. The minister of the interior of Lower Saxony commented:

Violent games lower the inhibition level for real violence and spree killers have again and again played such before they did the crime.
