Copies of LittleBigPlanet are being recalled from shops worldwide after it emerged that a background music track contained two phrases from the Koran.
...
“We decided to do a global recall to ensure that there was no possible way anyone may be offended by the music in the game,” said a Sony spokesman.

In June 2007, Sony apologised to the Church of England after setting scenes in a violent video game inside Manchester Cathedral. On that occasion the game was not withdrawn.

Halo: Extremity of Discomfort. The latest incarnation of the record-settingly popular sci-fi series Halo, this installment is the first to obey the Qur’anic injunction against all representational image-making.  No more shall you suffer the blasphemous idolatry of humanoid gun-toting characters!  Or chairs!  Instead, guide the big red square through the pulsing little yellow dots.  “Shoot” the rotating fronds of the black and orange thing.  Use the hour-long, fully abstract cut scenes as an opportunity for prayer.  Allahu akbar.

Vicar Assault 3. In this game, your only objective is to assault a vicar.
