Oh c'mon, there is not one country not built on blood. The British Empire wasn't exactly squeaky clean, Spanish, French and England all have massive colonial pasts, USA was built on near genocide of Native American Indians, and every Eastern country I know of has plenty of skeletons in their closet included Japan. There are few (if any) countries that have a squeaky clean history. OT - I have no idea. I figure it is somewhat down to taste and the history of games in the region, I think kowenicki is somewhat correct to wonder at past Japanese history (I'd note Germany has given us Crysis, etc. and FPS on PC is very, very popular there). If I had to guesstimate from Japanese games I've played I'd say it's the inherent gameplay. The Japanese seem to like either 'pure' games like Mario, etc. (i.e. no real plot etc just pure gameplay mechanics for fun) or strategic, story driven games like RPG or games like DMC4 which are more focused on 'style'. Few FPS would seem to offer quite that combination of mechanics. I'd also note that this generation a lot of Japanese seem to be very focused on portable, fun titles or Wii 'pure' games - again this leaves FPS out in the cold.

You`re absolutley right about every country is built on blood.
I will state my opinion to my own question later.
I just want to gather other opinions to see if someone can enlighten me with something new.
It`s really important to understand society in my opinion. That`s why I wrote this thread.
