German Borderlands importers encounter incompatible DLC

December 2nd, 2009 at 07:30pm Under Xbox 360

German Borderlands players who just had to import the gory, uncensored version of the title from another region are getting their comeuppance. According to a lengthy thread on the Gearbox forums, players who purchase the Zombie Island of Doctor Ned expansion from the German Xbox Live Marketplace can’t access the new content from their imported copies of the game.

We’ve contacted Gearbox to find out if anything is being done to refund the DLC’s 800 cost to these depraved, violence-crazed importers. They certainly don’t seem like the type of crowd you’d want to upset.

Modern Warfare 2 recalled from Russian shelves due to controversial content

November 16th, 2009 at 09:24am Under PC+ PS3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is reportedly being recalled from the shelves of retailers in Russia due to the game’s controversial content, including the in-game massacre of hundreds of Russian citizens in an airport, which acts as a catalyst for a Russian-lead invasion of the United States and all-out war between the two nations.

There is also a strong objection by Russian gamers to the depiction of Russians as terrorists and antagonists in the game, despite similar depictions of members from other nations and cultures in games (and other entertainment media) in the past.

The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has already received a patch to remove the offending airport mission, while an edited, censored console version is expected to be re-released within the next month, pending the approval of the Russian government.
