"Gears of War 3 will not be banned in Germany. The third-person shooter from Epic Games will be available to buy uncut in German stores, providing buyers are at least 18 years old, Eurogamer reports. The first two Gears of War instalments were refused a rating from the German USK board, though people could import copies from abroad rated by the PEGI. The games were also banned from being advertised and covered in the press. According to the BPJM, a German agency that judges whether any media is potentially harmful to young people, there was no &amp;quot;relevance for a ban&amp;quot; with Gears of War 3. A leaked copy of the game recently appeared on torrent sites but will only run on modified debug Xbox 360 systems. Gears of War 3 will be available exclusively on Xbox 360 from September 20 worldwide.
