Church of England smites Sony
The Church of England is threatening Sony because a cathedral was used in the “ultra-violent computer game” Resistance: Fall of Man without their consent.
Resistance: Fall of Man, which has sold more than one million copies, sees a virtual shoot-out between rival gunman with hundreds killed during a gun battle inside the cathedral in an orgy of blood
Church leaders see this as a “desecration” of Manchester Cathedral, and think Sony’s use of it is “sick.” They aren’t just complaining though, they are threatening legal action if their demands are not met:
The Church say Sony did not ask for permission to use the cathedral and has demanded an apology and the removal of the game from shop shelves - otherwise legal action will be considered.
So far Sony has only ignored them, but they’ll have to deal with it eventually. Personally I think the Church is making a big deal out of nothing, and so this is one of the few times where I’m actually siding with Sony.

What’s funny about this is I can imagine in less than a few days now, there will be Flash games on the Internet whose goal is just to see how much you can desecrate the church. How come the church didn’t get mad about Bible Fight?

umm, so now there’s going to be a rush to buy this game so that everyone “gets the version with the church in it” esp so they can sell it on ebay for crazy bucks.
