Like it is with a crude realism and sadism it's a lot too close to those torture movies and here you take the bad role. Totally insane and I understand the no go. He can release it on PC if that's so important. It's not a game, with cartoon effects and graphics it could have made it.

I loved SimTower and was sad when Leopard killed Classic mode, making it impossible for me to play my old SimTower game...

If not, maybe they'll put that in version 2.0. Was the developer actually thinking of charging money for this? Just wondering... does he also fling his feces at you?

Apple really scares me. After all it was apple that made the 1984 big brother advertisement and here is apple playing big brother. Apple has should not dictate developer content like this. Perhaps think different means "think how we want you to". No thanks apple. This is why I will never own a mac. What's next? Will macs block all porn and any material deemed unappropriate? Well that's not what a computer should be. That video is awesome. Apple really scares me. After all it was apple that made the 1984 big brother advertisement and here is apple playing big brother.

That's no reason for me to deny them for the people that want them. Just because you don't want the game doesn't mean it shouldn't be posted. Apple's grounds for rejecting Gabo are baseless, especially with an age rating system in place. I have absolutely no use for - or interest in - tons of apps in the apple store.

The game looks very interesting. Who the f- does Apple think they are? The taste police? I dont see anything illicit in the game, let people play it. Apple are a bunch of control-hungry prudes.
