DS Game
by dthonet March 9, 2008 8:59 PM PDT: I'd like to note while it appears this game author is fairly insensitive towards those who were involved in the holocaust this is NOT the first game which has revolved around this particular subject. (Wolfenstein).; Reply to this comment View all 2 replies

Not being insensitive
by error2k2 March 10, 2008 3:16 AM PDT: There is no way you can compare Wolfenstine to what Luc is trying to achieve here.

I recommend you watch Pam's Labyrinth or Life is Beautiful (La Vita è bella). I am certain you will change your opinion.; Reply to this comment View reply

Censorship in motion...
by umbrae March 10, 2008 6:42 AM PDT: I see no reason why this should not be released in the US. Wasn't Europe the MOST affected by the holocaust? Wouldn't they be the ones most sensitive to these issues?

Release the game here already! I loved Pan's Labyrinth, and this sounds very similar.; Reply to this comment
