51 games pulled from sale in Norway follo

Multiple Norwegian retailers have temporarily removed over 50 games from sale following the recent attacks that killed 77 people in a government building and youth camp. According to domestic reports (via Gamasutra), Coop Norway and Platekompaniet voluntarily made the decision to suspend sales of a number of violent games including first person shooter Homefront, Sniper Ghost Warrior, Counter-Strike Source and the Call of Duty series, as well as MMO World of Warcraft.Alleged attacker Anders Behring Breivik mentioned World of Warcraft and of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in a 1,500-page manifesto written before the attacks. He reportedly said he used the former as cover for being out of contact with friends and family, while he viewed the latter as a potentially effective training tool. Tom Ivan
