At any rate, we were talking about E3, which turned into a discussion about the increasingly violent nature of video games. They just seem to be getting darker and grittier and edgier and gorier (as is all entertainment, unfortunately). That's when I brought up Nintendo.

If anything the 1980s were the high point of "gritty and gory" entertainment. Much of it now is more sleek and sanitized. Go watch Robocop and then its remake..
