Fairytale Fights has a 'Kill 1,000 Children' Achievement photo

Oh, sweet controversy! Tongue-in-cheek hack-n'-slash game Fairytale Fights may be the very first console game to reward players for murdering kids, including as it does an Xbox 360 Achievement for killing 1,000 children. At least, it does right now. Whether or not it makes the final cut is up for debate. We reckon it won't.

Publisher PlayLogic isn't too hopeful either, but it's trying its best to push the Achievement through. It has promised that even if the Cheevo gets cut, players will still be able to murder hundreds of children in the game. Quite what Sony and Microsoft will have to say about that when the game heads to PS3 and Xbox 360 remains to be seen. 

If, by some dark miracle, the Achievement or even the killings make it into Fairytale Fights, you can prepare for an absolutely sh*tstorm of controversy. People will hear about this, and it will explode the mainstream media. Get ready for that, because it's going to be a classic. 

Seriously though ... this is awesome. Can you believe it's being made in Germany?

I hope to god this becomes a reality. I'm so tired of kids being ridiculously being granted immunity in games.

Controversial maybe, but not as much as the Cooking Mama vs PETA showdown to the death. =D

I hate that in Fallout. Surround the little brats by plasma mines and they walk right through the maelstrom unharmed.

Or in Little Lamplight where you fire one shot and they all scour like lemmings, immune to your gunfire, but you can kill the dogs. Yes, you can kill puppies, but not children. /facepalm

Germans promoting the murder of thousands of innocents?


Nope. I don't have a joke.

Goddamn it, they're not "Cheevos"! We have to nip this fucking thing before it catches on any more than it already has.

Don't flatter yourselves. Nobody's going to give a shit about this. There will be no shitstorm. There might be one clip from a cable morning show for you to put on youtube and blog about, but this will not make it above the fold.

Wow they really want us killing kids, guess there's no more Jews anymore, ZING!

You underestimate the mainstream media. If the Mass Effect "ZOMG sex scene" can cause controversy, then a fairy tale video game that rewards killing kids will be huge. Because both fairy tales and video games are for children, right?

Can you believe it's being made in Germany?

Sure. This sounds like the beginnings of a backlash to me. Could be rather delicious.

There's no wway this will get through. Here's to hoping.

Moreover, here's to hoping the game doesn't SUCK.

Because murdering adults is okay, but killing children is just sick.

For the first time I'm interested in this game, too bad that'll only last a week or so until they pull it.

Germany is known for their messed up fairy tales (Europe in general), it's just recently that they got G rated. The general theme seemed to be "kids are tasty" and "don't trust old people".
