....And why does the EU censor certain types of games.
Is it agains't UK and EU law for (Animal Hunting, Light Gun) type games to be sold in the UK, because it's really annoying that I can't buy a Deer Drive in my Region.
I want the pleasure of Blowing the Skullcap of a Rabbit, Deer, Fox, and Squirrel, hedghog, and just generally Killing Wildlife just like you Lucky Americans.
Why-O-Why can you buy light-gunners in the UK where you can Shoot Zombie Hordes, Terrorists/Soldiers, generic Monsters, Cartoons, but when you have a game where you're shooting Wildlife the EU, and the BBFC, act like Pussies.
I'm from the UK and I want a lightgun game where I can empty the Entire round of a 12 Gauge, Close Range, 10 Inches from, and Into a bunny rabbits head.
^^There I said it, Bite me BBFC, and screw your censorship.

Don’t think there is the market in the UK for hunting games as its not a leisure activity over here like it is in America so they wouldn't sell enough.

This. We have a deer hunting arcade game in the local pub so they're not banned over here.
It's the same with RPG's. Not such a big market over here so we only get the high profile ones. Sucks. :(

What are you talking about It's not a leisure activity over here, we have Fox-Hunting don't we??
We also Invented Fox-Hunting, which In case you don't know is chasing after foxes on Horse back blowing a Bugal, while a pack of dogs corners the fox, and then at the end of the chase you get to blow its brains out.
There should be a UK only "Fox-Hunting Drive", and the great thing is, because its a game, and much to the misconceived view of the BBFC that most gamers are between the ages of 5-14 year old Children, it could fully take advantage of the 18 certificate.
There probally hasn't been a game in history as graphic as some of the 18 rated films you can get. It maybe for the same reason the ESRB won't realise a AO rated game in your United States.
Thirdly can some1 explain the Logic of "Toning down 18 rated Wii games in case children get there hands on them" eg Manhunt, I mean HELLO, that's why they are rated 18, because Kids shouldnt get there hands on them. But the ESRB, and the BBFC, and nearly every Board of Classification around the Globe, had to have a Hissy-Fit and put that stupid Blur Filter over all the Cool execution scenes.
Saying 18 RATED WII GAMES need to be toned down for the Wii, compared to PS3 games, is the same as "I have no faith in retailers to ID People for games"
Am i going mad of were Wii's designed from the outset, to be put in Kids Pre-School Nurseries, and adults only buy them for themselves as a Joke.

I wonder when people will learn that not having a market doesn't equal censorship.
...and since i dont have better things to do on a friday evening, took me 1 whole minute to find 5 games in the UK. Now go read the wikipeadia article on what censorship means.

Fox hunting is not hunting, its moronic peoples way to feel like their "hunting", but in reality are too ****ing stupid to know how to hunt properly. Instead get a bunch of people with firearms and bloodhounds and attack one ****ing fox.

That sucks!
I'm glad I can get any game I want.
Hell, even MW2 has a level that can be really offensive. It asks you if you want to skip it, but you can still play it. Killing a bunch of innocent people trying to run away.
But, hunting games aren't the fun anyway. Rather actually bow-hunt then play a game of some fat hillbilly with a 12 gauge.
