    The Daily Mail is a crap paper anyway. Anyone rational just ignores their silly little rants. Besides, it just makes me laugh when stuffy middle aged toffs start trying to understand the appeal of things aimed at a youth market - of course it won't appeal to you because you're about 25 years older than the target audience you blithering idiot!

    The only reason it shouldn't be allowed to be sold is because we all have it already. Nice try douche bags.

    Gotta admire the Daily Mails futile efforts to spread biased propaganda to the older, slightly unaware generations. I remember back along when they were trying to warn parents about a growing cult known as 'Emo.'
    You see, the Mail hates foreigners, immigrants, homosexuals, single mothers, atheists, liberals, pacifists, and so on.

    When I played, I was stabbed to death with pitchforks amid fountains of my own blood.
    This was my favorite part of the article.

    Way to be up on the times... The game is 2 years old, and Resident Evil games have been out forever.

    ^ I lol'd at Primagen's.

    Yeah, this article's a load of crap. Telling EVERYONE that they shouldn't play it is just idiotic. Some people can handle violence in games, some people can't. They shouldn't see everyone as the latter.

    And why RE4? It's been out a good few years now, and the stuff that happens in it is pretty tame compared to other games.

    If you don't like the games, then don't buy them, simple as that. There are people who enjoy those game, and why take it away from them if you don't like the game?

    Is it just me or do many adults need to be pampered when it comes to virtual violence?

    Kid: It's ok, mom, he lost his head, but you press "retry" and look! He's back! See, you don't need to cry now...
