Following on the heels of Australia and New Zealand, where the game has already been banned, a Lancashire MP is calling for Reservoir Dogs to be banned from being sold in the United Kingdom, as well. MP Lindsay Hoyle, of Chorley, has “signed a House of Commons motion calling for the British Board of Classification to refuse… (the game) a certificate and ban it in the UK.” The game violence is extreme, allowing players to torture and brutalize police officers as well as members of the public. As more and more connections are being drawn between violence acted out in video games and the real-life episodes, politicians are calling out for curbs. The graphic nature of the Reservoir Dogs game has made it something of a political lightening rod.
