Last month's school shooting incident in Winnenden, Germany, opened the floodgates for German government officials to fire criticisms aimed at violent video games. Some have called for tighter restrictions, while others have even demanded for outright bans.

In fact, according to GamePolitics, he think that violent video games are pretty much the same as drugs and child porn.
