IGI 2 Illegal SAS @ 15:18 PM

Well I am sorry to report that Owning or Distributing IGI 2 Covert Strike is Illegal…. if you live in China that is.

According to This Article on the register,

According to state media Project IGI2: Covert Strike - which was created by the Norway-based Innerloop Studios and published by UK-based Codemasters - has broken tough gaming laws because it “hurt China’s national dignity and interests”. Officials got the hump because part of the game is set in China, from where a mercenary engages in sabotage and shoots at its soldiers.

“The State Press and Publication Administration (SPPA) said the game has violated China’s gaming regulations that prohibit introduction and publication of games that hurt China’s national dignity and interests,” reported Xinhuanet

Ah well, Sorry China, but it is a GAME dont take it so seriously, it isn’t like it was a film starring Richard gere or a Tom Clancy or Partick Robinson novel :P
