Sony apologises over violent video game.
This story on the news was baffling. Sony has based one of its most violent video games, 'Resistance: Fall of Man' in Manchester Cathedral. Against the back drop of a beautiful old Cathedral, aliens invade and have to be quickly gunned down! Im not a religious person however I can see how this would cause an uproar within the Anglican community. Although Sony have "sincerely apologised" they also added that they believed they had "sought all necessary permisions." To me I would asume that anyone within the Church of England community would say that to base such a game in any kind of religious place would be distasteful. But maybe the bigger issue here is whether any setting for a viloent video game is considered to be in good taste.
