Germans, Battle-Chess, and the fight against Censorship

Posted Apr 2, 2007 at 7:22PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: SPIEGEL Online

Spiegel Online reports that a group of Germans participated in a demonstration that serves as a demonstration against the prohibition of violence in games. To highlight the fact that combat is inherent in most games, the demonstrators staged a very bloody game of Battle Chess. Yes, Chess is just as violent as God of War 2.

Don't worry, most of the blood was made with chocolate and red dye. At least, that's how we understood the translation of the report. Anyhow, for more on the demonstration, feel free to head to the German report via our "read" link below. Just run it through your preferred online translation engine of choice.
