Head designer over at Team Ninja Tomonobu Itagaki said in a CVG interview, when speaking about the Ninja Gaiden titles, the 'violence issue' with video games is really not what some make it out to be:

"I believe we're following morality as well in only showing violence between combatants. I think the 'violence issue' is something that is within each individual who plays the game."

Itagaki also praised Grand Theft Auto IV.

During a one-on-one interview with Itagaki in London last Friday, Team Ninja's main man offered his thoughts on Grand Theft Auto IV. "I think it's made extremely well and is a fun game," he said.

"People always use that as an example of violence in games. But I don't think there's anyone who takes their job as seriously as the guys who make that game. You only have to look at all the detail in there."
