This is one that the kids might like as well...and it sneaks in a few servings of veggies too. This is a recipe that even the beginner cook will find to be quick and simple...perfect for a weeknight meal. Enjoy!

Yields 4-6 servings.

Due to various reasons that are tied to a certain place, a video game which is considered completely fine in one country may be looked upon as the devil incarnate in another. Such issues highlight why video game adaptation - as opposed to just straight translation - is necessary for computer and consoles games.

That said, these facts raise an important questions: when does localization go so far that it becomes censorship? Aren't these changes killing some of the game's fun?

I will show you a simple example, Yakuza 3 on PS3 shows well how thin the frontier between censorship and localization can be. The game was heavily criticized by gamers who suspect the localizerd edited or removed significant game elements.

Now the question is: do all of these elements actually required to be changed? Isn't that just based on a stereotype that American gamers tend to be more religious and concerned about nudity and violence? I assume that someone purchasing the third installment in a game series would normally have a pretty good idea as to what kind of content they were getting into, especially with a series such as Yakuza, which is relatively well-known. The games even receive ratings similar to films, giving the consumer an even better idea of what the game in question contains.

Regardless as to what country this game is purchased in, by default (due to content) the player will generally be an adult - or at least old enough to understand that the game may contain some "naughty bits". Just look at the cover - this fact is not going to surprise anyone. So who are the publishers to decide even further who this game is for, and what parts they should be allowed to play?.

Video game localization should be given more consideration, and before censoring, developers should rather listen to their gamers at first.
