Don't show any blood, or guts, or whatever. Done.

I'm not sure if i believe games will ever become photo realistic. I don't know if you guys have heard about the uncanny valley, it's a theory that has to do with robots and CGI. Basically the more realistic a robot, CGI movie or video game gets, the more positive and empathetic out emotional response will be up until a certain point, beyond that point most will be repulsed by it.

If you look at different video game characters you may notice that many of them have a few features exaggereated to give them a sort of cartoony, possibly so that the will be not real enough to fall into the uncanny valley, even in games heralded for their graphics (gears of war comes to mind.)

erm... nothing?

There seems to be this mistaken impression that games where you play as certain types of people will turn you into those people. There is absolutely no evidence that backs this assertion, it's based completely on heresy and morons such as Jack Thompson who crave attention. 

I can't believe you are actually arguing this!

Don't you know that Sixaxis racing is more realistic than real racing?

LMAO! That was classic, Your mother!

Maybe it's just cause I'm a girl (sensitive), that I wouldn't really like to see trips and such gushing out from a photo-realistic game... It's discusting... I don't mind blood, but trips and such, no thanks, I'll pass.

^^^ hear hear, basically said what i think, except much better explained than i ever have managed.
the Wind Waker is still one of the best looking games i own, better than TP, and better than RE4.
