Japan and Germany ban Gears of War 2

Posted on Wednesday, 22 October 2008 by Speed, source: Edge-Online

Nothing better than a ban to get some publicity, no?

A Microsoft spokesmen who might be out of a job soon has told Edge that Gears of War 2 will not become available in either Japan or Germany, confirming rumours about a ban that have been flying around.

“We can confirm that Gears of War 2 will not be available in Germany or Japan indefinitely” said the spokesperson

However, another spokesman has contacted Edge to state that in fact "no announcement has been made about plans for Gears of War 2 in Japan".

So what is it? The game has been banned or was it never supposed to be released over there? Seeing that Gears 1 was the first X360 game to make the Japanese software sales charts, we're betting on option number one.
