With State of Emergency pushing the envelope on viloence in video games my wife and i got into that debate.
I contest that it depends on the game, making games viloent just for the shock value is getting ridiculouse.
I can understand the blood in Halo, and shooters. I can even understand in fighting genres, but here are my 2 examples:
DOA3 is very violent, yet there is no bloodshed. The game is extremly popular none the less.
Another very popular game is Tony Hawk 3, a skateboarding game...was it really necessary to have blood smeared over the asfault when you wipe out??
Don't missunderstand, i own both of these games and enjoy them vary much...but i do have children and i wonder where it's going to end up.
So aside from just voting please try and explain your point of view.
