Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair had a chance to give his two cents on the Church of England's beef with Resistance: Fall of Man. Blair is tending to side with the complaints, explaining how the gaming industry can take better care in how it chooses to depict the real world. In response to a question posed by Tony Lloyd, MP for Manchester Central, asking whether it is inappropriate for "big corporations" to use imagery of locales like Manchester Cathedral to depict gun violence:

"I agree with my honourable friend. I think it's important that any of the companies engaged in promoting these types of goods have some sense of responsibility and also some sensitivity to the feelings of others.

"I think this is an immensely difficult area, the relationship between what happens with these games and its impact on young people," the prime minister went on.

"I've no doubt this debate will go on for a significant period of time, but I do agree. I think it is important that people understand there is a wider social responsibility as well as an interior responsibility for profits."
