I suppose there will be waves of angry Brazilian CS players forming rebel resistance groups now.

But in all seriousness, this is fucking stupid.

"an attack against the democratic state and the law and against public security"

At least it's not just the UK who have completely out of touch idiots for judges!

CS came out in 1999 and they're just figuring this now?

Given the state of Brazil's internal strife due to Drug cartels fighting for turf and different rebel groups popping up like squirels to fight the government I'd have thought most kids routinely live with the fact of guns and violence as a daily matter of life..........but of course CS is just one step to far.

Hey theres an idea for Gordan Brown and his government, ban CS and any other game you can blame for the state of crime and violence in the UK.

Video Games responsible for all Drug and Gun crime in Brazil!

/E-mail to Daily Mail written

Right just need to find a game that has Kidnapping as its main theme and then all politicians/ bent cops/criminals/ drug lords are off the hook.

I think Brasil may have far more important matters to deal with. Like drugged up kid gangs and some of the worlds most bent cops where they'd rather shoot people than 'fill in the paperwork'. Absurd.

I didn't even know Brazil had a government! I thought it was run by a bunch of festering shemales who own the Wii...

There's only really major problems in Rio and Sao Paulo, and the problems are all in the favelas. Incidentally, I don't think people in favelas have too many PCs capable of running either game.

A footballer said recently that England are not good internationally at the sport because too many people are playing games. Maybe Brazil just wants to prevent the same thing happening to them. Funny though.

Most brazilians don't buy their games anyway, they just P2P them.

Shhhhh, don't give him ideas!

Also, how the chuff do you ban something that hasn't officially been released?
