Offensive 'Mind Quiz' is recalled

French games publisher Ubisoft has recalled all copies of its PSP and DS game Mind Quiz after receiving a complaint from a disgruntled woman, claims the BBC.

The Belfast lady, who recently lost a child that was severely brain damaged, contacted the publisher when she discovered players that perform badly are called a name that could be considered abusive to those with a disability.

A spokesperson from Ubisoft apologised to “anyone who was offended by the game”, stating: "As soon as we were made aware of the issue we stopped distribution of the product and are now working with retailers to pull the game off the market.

"The game was developed in Japan, and we unfortunately did not pick up on the offending word in our quality assurance. We are currently working with the developer to find a way to rectify the issue."
