Remember when the game Doom became a scapegoat for the shootings at Columbine? Never thought I'd see the day when MS Flight Simulator joins the ranks of other games considered "violent." :-(

Tenchusatsu, this time I think its more because they are worried that it will upset people to see NYC looking 'normal'.

Even more interesting, is that Hollywood has pulled from release several films including Shwar..nagger's latest building blow up as well as the trailer for Spiderman that shows Spiderman throwing up a web between the two twin towers which then capturing the enemy's helicopter with the web. Personally, I didn't know Spiderman had a web that big....so its just as well they pulled the trailer. I hate when movies lie to us. ;~))

Do you realize that MS flight simulator is a very real flight simulator...?
Certainly it's not violent or should MS be blamed for anything but it IS a valid flight training tool...not a just some game.
