Hehe, Americans and English won't play it

WTF That's not cool they shouldn't ban it in the U.S.A =P

Haha, Pokemon banned in Saudia Arabia.

Pokemon Emerald? That's really weird.

Informative list. Sucks too, some of those games are quite good.

Why is Pokemon Emerald banned in Suadi Arabia? Is it because that the pokemon don't wear pants? That is totally messed up. Manhunt shouldn't be banned in the US. If the first one wasn't, then we better keep the second one.

If you read the article, Pokemon was banned for having a symbol similar to the Star of David found in it somewhere. And if you haven't figured it out yet, the Suadi's don't really like the Jews.

It's pretty weird to see a Pokemon game banned.

I don't see how games can get banned, they can't really be that bad that they can get banned from a country.

Its not always how bad a game is (see Pokeman: Emerald) but up to what that countries video game review board thinks of it.

A lot of countries also have a bunch of rules about what they will allow in a game and what they wont.

In the case of Manhunt 2, its apparently due to the degree of violence in the game.

Nice list. Some of those games really shouldn't be banned but oh well. I can't believe Pokemon Emerald was banned. I can't believe they banned it because they thought the game would possess the minds of Saudi children. LOL.

Australia and New Zealand are so tough on video games classification, not only do we have no R rating, but even if a game is already classified it can be overruled by local and state government, while its still possible for the UK and US to play Manhunt, I know that I'll never see it in Australia

LOL at the guy game's reason...

Why do we need games like this anyway, if they make really bad games stricly for adults then they should make something to stop kids playing with these games, and if they know that these games are going to get banned in countrys because it won't sell well because it is such a vilent game then they shouldn't even be making these games, they shouldn't make anything this vilent.

People have been pushing the envelope in every aspect of human life forever, and that applies no less in video games. It is the nature of the world, and will never stop.

WTF why don't they ban all the cool games so we can all start playing Barbie games

Israel > Saudi Arabia. Get over it.

Postal rightfully deserves the first position.. But .. Pokemon?

I'm quite surprised that Manhunt isn't on that list as that got a lot of media coverage when it was first released, but like many people have said :
Pokemon ?? What on earth do they think that games about ... ??

Apparently they don't like the Pokemon. Feels there destroying animals species lol. either that or there afraid its going to hurt them. Too bad i would so lay a beedrill on them too if i had powers like that
