It’s about time some of these “games” that take violence to extremes are banned. The same thing needs to happen here in the US as well.

Distributors have halted the sale in Britain of the video game Law and
Order: Double or Nothing, following complaints from Denise Fergus, the
mother of the murdered toddler James Bulger, that it appeared to include a
CCTV image of her son being abducted.
The move comes as, for the first time in 10 years, a video game has been
banned from British shops on the ground that it encourages extreme violence
and “casual sadism”.
Manhunt 2 has been made illegal to sell by the British Board of Film
Classification (BBFC) for its “unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal
slaying”.
The BBFC said of Manhunt 2 that the game “constantly encourages
visceral killing with exceptionally little alleviation or distancing”.
