The Church Of England is sueing Sony for the useage of Westminister Abbey in the game Fall Of Man. The church wants Sony to pull the game off the shelves.

That's so funny.

But it's just a landmark... landmarks appear in games (especially racing ones in cities) all the time.

Yep. I think they are just hungry for the spot light.

Kasumi it's Manchester Cathedral that's shown in that game, but Sony ARE still in big trouble about it, there's a lot of gun crime in Manchester and the Church of England is seriously not impressed by this game :?

Trinity i'm not sure what to suggest with a jokes thread, i don't think the GD would be the right place because it wouldn't be discussion..did i still appear to be online? :shock: i logged out intentionally so people didn't PM me when i wasn't there :? i've been flopped on the sofa watching tv http://i19.tinypic.com/4z0n4sj.gif

I once climbed to the top of the St. Paul's/Peter's Cathedral.

Whichever one is the really big popular on in London. <3

Yes but that's America, you have to realise that gun crime in the UK is still pretty shocking, as hardly anyone owns a gun over here, apart from farmers and criminals..

The reason the church has been so angered by this game is because it shows a shoot out actually within the cathedral itself, which the Bishop says desecrates the holy ground. They showed this part of the game on the news, and the detailing of the inside of the cathedral is very accurate, so someone went in there and took photographs which Sony then used without seeking proper permission. The church didn't know anything about the content of this game until it had been released..It will be interesting to see how this comes out in the end..

Yep I see thier point but they are closing the barn door after the horses escaped. I wonder when the Church gets to be placed in the Defendant's chair for thier crimes?
