Yeah, I realize I'm far more likely to stab soemone than NeeoZeed is, but this game just turns my stomach. The world doesn't need shit like this.

They could take out the blood and not show the gory kills, and it wouldn't affect my enjoyment of the game as I like the sneaking and tension of stealth games like this.

It's great news because it shows a commitment to make adult-oriented games on the Wii. Maybe they'll port over the GTA trilogy next, or the Stories.

BTW, I never heard people refer to simultaneously-released multiplatform games as "ports" until the Wii came along. Even a game released first on the Wii was called "port."

When did San Andreas come out? 2005? Yeah, that'd be exciting.

That's because you only pay attention when you're defensive. There have been tons of cases of simultaneously released ports. Hell, Gun and King Kong on 360 were IIRC.

Manhunt was one of my favorite games ever because of the snuff element. Yeah it was shocking and over the top but that's what made it so appealing to me. I can't believe we never got that Thrill Kill game but we got Manhunt.

And no, that WuTang game doesn't count.

I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Other than the theme, there's nothing in Manhunt we haven't seen in other games. That couldn't possibly have been the 1st time you shot someone's head off or stabbed them in a game.

Don't know why you'd need to check yourself for liking Manhunt but not for games like RE4 or GoW (quality of the games aside, I'm just talking about violence). If anything, it needed to be gorier

The kills in Manhunt aren't any more gory than in Tenchu, really. And you're killing fellow violent criminals anyway. The only innocents in the game are ones for you to save.
