It'd be one thing if the BMI measurement were an optional feature, but it FORCES you to do the test before letting you play the game.

@mva5580:
You also have to phone the car dealership once a week to get permission to drive your Ferrari.
Many Ferrari's won't be able to use every type of fuel without having some work done to the engine.
And fewer and fewer gas stations will stock the only type of fuel you can use in a Ferrari, because people keep driving off without paying.

Actually, this is pretty much exactly like a Pepsi representative stating:

at 10:26 PM on May 8
Bioshock - Yes.
Portal - Not seeing it.
I'm starting to get really tired of people saying that there should NEVER be a movie based on a game, because they've always been bad in the past.
That's merely symptomatic of the film adaptions not being taken seriously and handed off to a moron who has no idea how to make a good film.
If someone can reference for me a bad video game-to-movie adaption that was produced and/or directed by someone even remotely competent, I'll change my vote.
There are plenty of lousy book-to-movie (Da Vinci Code) or comic book-to-movie (Daredevil) adaptions too, but hand the reins to the right person, and they can be fantastic.
As for those calling for the end of movie-to-game adaptions, are you really going to boycott:
Star Wars: Force Unleashed
Ghostbusters
LEGO Indiana Jones
LEGO Batman
?

@Mearns: Sonic's shoe soles aren't made of rubber.
They're made of a concentrated polymer of blue skies and Richard Jacques CDs.

V1L3 commented on BBFC Says MGS4 Has "Implied Child Rape" [Updated],
at 11:55 PM on Apr 22
I humbly suggest a few of the commenters go back and read the story a little more carefully.
This isn't taken from a sensationalist article by the press; this is a BBFC report detailing the details of the game and addressing any violent/sexual content in context to justify the rating they gave it.
As you can see, it appears that nothing has been called out as being inappropriate, and there are no complaints being raised.
I'm not sure whether the ESRB releases any such information, but if it doesn't, it should.

What I'd love to see is someone playing the game, prodding the alien girl with the stylus, causing her to gasp and say "No, don't touch me there!" So of course, you continue (Anime Lesson #1 - "Don't" means "I don't like it NOW, but I will later!").
Then, all of a sudden, her skin is torn from her body, revealing the huge, glistening carapace and drooling mandibles of her true form.

Boy, I sure do wish I lived in a country like the US, where people don't complain about games like Grand Theft Auto, and where the use of a trademarked logo doesn't result in frivalous lawsuits.
And as an added bonus, I could rest easy knowing that the games I can and can't play weren't decided by my government.......
