UPDATE: Our Medal of Honor poll is now open. Is EA right or wrong? You tell us.
The inclusion of the Taliban in Medal of Honor was inevitably going to come to the attention of politicians. They can’t resist. The idea of a violent, controversial video game, some “sick filth” that needs banning is like catnip to politicos. They’ve been calling for games to be banned since pixellated prehistory (Space Invaders was once the scourge that would turn American youths to illiteracy and degeneracy).
Of course the Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, was going to profess himself “disgusted” with Medal of Honor without ever having played the game. When it comes to gaming, most politicians see an easy target and even as MPs who grew up playing the NES and the Mega Drive make it to Parliament, that’s not going to stop…
