They must be laughing all the way to the bank; I doubt that any other game has had it's sales boosted so much by the daily media reporting. Interestingly, computer games, like religion, seem to appeal to those who enjoy delusion, and they may even have boosted sales to their own congregations. In any case, I'm sure a lot worse happened in the cathedral in the 800 years since when it was built. Real crimes, not imaginary. And whom is the Church going to sue next? Every author who ever set a murder or atrocity in a church or cathedral? Colin Dexter? T. S. Eliot's publishers? - Perhaps it ought to sue (for beach of contract) those whom it employs and employed who have been convicted in the courts of child abuse - now that would be money well spent. Canon Denby, get a grip on reality and get your priorities in order! Sony may well hope that they sue; ideally just before the retailers place their Christmas stock orders.

It's supposed to be shocking, I guess, because LOOK, there's a FIGHT in a place of PEACE! Get IT? Isn't THAT GREAT? It's getting tired folks. I wish movies and games would stop already.

Sony posted a loose in the games division but a profit overall, that's why the stock went to a 3 year high. I love how uninformed CNN and BBC's articles were. "The popular new PlayStation 3 game, "Resistance: Fall of Man," shows a virtual shootout between rival gunmen with hundreds of people killed inside the cathedral." It's actually about a 5 minute scene with 4 humans fighting crawlers Chimera and an Auger. Sony has over 30 billion in the bank along with massive revenues and assets from other divisions.

I wouldn't be surprised if the motivation to go against Sony here wasn't due to the Da Vinci Code again. After all it's also a Sony property that they weren't able to block.

It's more tabloid then news now. That's how Jack Thompson can go onto all the news networks as a 'school shooting expert' and blame games regardless of the facts. Look at the uproar over Bully and 25 to Life, all the news networks were misrepresenting what the games were about to get more of an uproar. One positive is in the last 10 years gaming has become more mainstream that in the future more "journalist' will have played games growing up, should make them less ignorant then they are now.
