British newspaper rounds on MW2

Right-wing British newspaper The Daily Mail has launched an attack on Activision's Modern Warfare 2, on the eve of the game's worldwide debut.

A new article from the paper, published online, says MW2 lets players kill civilians in 'terror attacks'. The article inevitably focusses on the airport scene - which has already sparked controversy elsewhere.

Anti-gaming Labour MP Keith Vaz is also miffed: "I am absolutely shocked by the level of violence in this game and am particularly concerned about how realistic the game itself looks."

Vaz says he will raise the issue of the new game in parliament today.
