Exactly how are games becoming more violent? They've always been pretty bad. The differences is the graphics are becoming better and more realilistic. It's not more violent, the violence is just more real.

 I'd agree. It confusesme how the first AOE was a Teen/13 rating, when it had a bit of blood, and the graphics left a lot to desire, and shooters on the PS2 (such as James Bond games) were a 12 rating, and there you actually were killing people, and punching them etc. It just seems contradicting. It seems people are confusing, the complain about violence being more realistic, but don't give games a higher rating. :S
