Take-Two's Snow has been cancelled

The Xbox and PC drug empire game Snow, from Frog City Software and Take-Two, has been cancelled.

CNNMoney.com is reporting that the controversial drug trafficking game Snow has been cancelled. In the game players would start off in the 1970s as a small time pot dealer, eventually moving onto more lucrative drugs such as cocaine.

No reason for the cancellation has been given, but it's thought to be a result of Take-Two's efforts to clean up its image. A game which sees players running a drug trafficking business would not have gone down well with the 'games brainwash our kids' brigade, and would have been a sure-fire 18-rated game.
