Are games becoming too violent?

If you look at Japanese films there can often be quite a high level of violence in them so I'm not sure how true that theory is. Although I would say that they most certainly have a preference for games with less violence than the American market, fps etc aren't big sellers.

The strictness on the subject of anything sexual is quite interesting, and startlingly bizarre. The whole deal with Janet Jackson at the Superbowl was blown out of all proportion, I still can't work out why anyone would care.

Quite right. I presume that the issue of sex is related to religions in America. As you can see, most Japanese are atheists or agnostics when it comes to God, and even when they are not, their religions do not constrain sexual issues as much as, say, Christianity does.  Not to say that it is a good thing or not, of course.
