"China has banned a Norwegian-made computer game involving a spy-for-hire chasing military secrets on the mainland because it allegedly blackens the country's image, the government said Friday. The State Press and Publication Administration said the game, Project IGI2: Covert Strike, violates Chinese regulations prohibiting games that hurt China's national dignity and interests, the official Xinhua News Agency reported."
The PC game first released in 2001 "was created by Oslo-based Innerloop Studios and is published by the British company Code Masters," says AP.
Comment: The country responsible for the Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing, the invasion of Tibet, the suppression of democracy and a long list of human rights abuses is worried about looking bad in a computer game?
