The game Bloodrayne is completely Banned in Germany, since it's all about blood and Nazis - you're playing a half-vampire bringing down several Nazi-installations. It's a very satisfying game, and I for one find it rather sad that german "violent" videogame players are deprived of humanoid victims I for one have a hard time feeling some kind of remorse for. Good thing I have english native friends.

However, I have to say that Oberführer in no way feels offensive to me, as I didn't associate it with anything Nazi-german at all - but perhaps that's because I grew up with Star Wars and Warhammer 40K...
