China's Ministry of Culture has published the names of four computer games that are to be banned.

The four games are Blood Rayne II, Obscure, AV Mahjong, and Kong Bu Lao Long (Horrible Cage). They are accused of containing pornographic imagery, gambling or violent content.

The Ministry is requiring the cultural departments at various provincial levels to ban the games in cooperation with the local public security departments, communications departments and departments of industry and commerce.
