IU have no idea which Public servant was on an acid trip when he came up with that idea. If the authorities had a problem with the word 'shagged' then they could always change the title to simply "Austin Powers 2". Thank God they left Goldmember alone.

Surely at least the Greek government shouldn't ban the game Zeus: Master of Olympus.

For all the intelligence of the Singapore government, we still lack the virtue of common sense. And it doesnt look like the next generation will be any better. Bunch of mindless zombies cranked out of the Singaporean Lobotomy..uh.. Educational.. system..

Since you brought up that game, did you know Sierra announced their next game in that line, and it will be about ancient China ? I've seen screenshots of that game and it looks great. That surely must have your interrest.

Didn't know about that, but I reckon I'll check it out. Thanx for letting me know. ;)

You don't like us Singaporeans, do you? Sigh... :(

You don't like us Singaporeans, do you? Sigh... :( [/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]Its not so much a case that Lifetime dislikes us (for all we know Lifetime could be a fellow Singaporean). But the fact is that he's actually telling the truth. I could elaborate but then I'd be going way off topic.

Have to agree to some extent, actually -- Singapore's education system really is what one would call a 'pressure cooker' system. I know -- I currently have a couple tuition students and their lamentations regarding school are all too familiar to me. And in fact I once tried teaching as well -- after one year, I quit. (Oh, and it's actually also occured to me that Lifetime might be a (former?) Singaporean, too.)

But yes, we're getting off topic. So, I'll stop here. ;)

So they banned ALL electronic games!? Isn't that a weird thing to do if you want to stop illegal gambling? :rolleyes:

As somebody else on another board pointed out: The "problem" with internet gambling is that most companies are based in offshore tax heaven, law heaven small countries. Therefore governments cannot get their greedy hands on a cut of the profits pie from online gambling. As the saying goes - "Dont steal. Government hates competition."

But what about say single player PC games? Why should those be banned too?
