Sony's PS3 game, "Resistance: Fall of Man", has sold over a million copies but at the same time has rankled the Church of England who have threatened to sue the Japanese conglomerate of what it claims is unauthorised use of the image of Manchester Cathedral. The Bishop of Manchester, the Rt Rev Nigel McCulloch is quoted as saying:
"For a global manufacturer to re-create one of our great Cathedrals with photo-realistic quality and then encourage people to have guns battles in the building is beyond belief and highly irresponsible.
"Here in Manchester we do all we can to support communities through our parish clergy, we know the reality of gun crime and the devastating effects it can have on the lives - it is not a trivial matter."
