Row as 'alternative' festival axes Columbine massacre game

A key sponsor pulled out of an alternative media festival in Salt Lake City, Utah, and six video game makers withdrew entries in a freedom of expression row, after organisers rejected a game depicting the Columbine High School massacre.

Slamdance Film Festival co-founder and president Peter Baxter said organisers could not justify keeping Super Columbine Massacre RPG! in the competition.
