Family Media Guide has prepared a list of the Top 10 Most Violent Video Games released so far this year based upon information supplied by PSVratings.

Huh, my girlfriend's ten year old sister plays RE4, no problem. She knows it's not real, and frankly I like the thought of having someone who would hve my back in the event of some kind of Day of the Bodysnactchers or zombie situation. She's better at it than everyone else except me. :p

But her mom really freaks out when it comes to language. So I guess the more GTA-oriented games aren't so hot around here.

I laugh at how shooting people's heads off is fine, but making a certain syllable is not. Crazy people :D

Yes but THIS YEAR isn't 1993 so they're not all that controversial anymore.

When I was 6 I played Ghouls and Goblins(checkif name is correct.). I mean it was a game that caused over 200k suicides based ont he fact that most of them couldn't get pass level 3.


Bah lol I hate the media.

That's because MK has been junk pretty much ever since MK3.

Oh, and Holmes? Deadly Alliance isn't 2005. It's 2002-2003.

That's what I'm saying, those games weren't controversial. The only controversial games were in the early 90s. Great reading comprehension there.

They were still gorey and vilolent as all else. Quit trying to make up excuses just to argue with me.

I think there was another Mortal Krapbat game, DA wasn't it's title, it was something else.

Joel - Kane's right. Mortal Kombat lost its controversy back in the 90s. It takes new kinds of gore now to get the media's ire.

EDIT: In fact, it's tough for a fighting game to be controversial nowadays. You need a long story line with violent murder and other stuff to be considered "bad" now.

What's wrong and dumb and horrible about making suggestions to parents about which games are the most violent? No one under 14 has any business playing any of those games anyway (not that I would care if they did though).

And yeah, Mortal Kombat just isn't all that amazingly violent next to so many other games anymore.

I know what emo is, but I fail to see how it relates to this article... unless I actually don't know what emo is and am full of it. Emo is some kind of heavy metal music or something, right?

Emo = Emotionally charged punk rock

Emo'ers = People who listen to emotionally charged punk rock.


people see emo as to what a goth is, may 75% of the world stop confuseing them.

Wow. I find that artcle pretty stupid. People take video games way too seriously. And wow, I'm not emo. Go me.
