Brazil is taking a hard line against two nearly decade-old computer games that federal officials say incite violence and harm consumer health.
Since 17 January, the games Counter-Strike and Everquest have been banned from sale in Brazil. The order comes into effect following an October 2007 Brazilian federal court decision, which ruled the games encourage "the subversion of public order" and are an "attack against the democratic state."
