    Nope, sadly I can remember each of those being in the news & gaming press at various times.
    You might want to add the hooplah about the "graphic sex scene" in Mass Effect to the list too, for that matter.

    Nice read, except I've come to the conclusion you don' t like Nirvana and I love that band...
    So STFU.... nah just joking, everyone has the right to their own opinions, otherwise there wouldn't have been the news to write this article in the first place

    Not once in all my years of gaming have I stopped to think about the ethnicity of whatever I'm killing

    This is true.... If that argument about the race or origin of the npc ur killing is to be believed we are all anti russian and anti-german coz lets face it... most of us have killed at least 2 3rds of the 3rd Reich multiple times.

    I do feel bad killing dogs in games though... go figure.

    Heh, yeah. To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, when faced with all the possibilities for discrimination that different species offer, why on earth would you worry about discriminating against someone over such a minor thing a colour?
    For the most part we're too busy killing little green men / goblins / robots to give a shit about perceived racism in games
