Law and ethics anyone?

Here are some Banned games in germany and reasons why they were banned in the first place...
For a start alot of games are banned in germany because of Nazi references. Games such as wolfenstein 3D for example were banned because of this reason.

Gears of war 2 was banned in germany, the title was refused a rating as it contains extreme gore and violance. It also rewards players with achievements for killing people in certain ways, and germany does not like the idea of rewarding players for killing.
