My views are as follows:
Games that are violent to a reasonable degree like the Lord of the Rings games are okay.
Games that are excessively and gratuitously violent, showing blood and gore mostly just for the sake of showing blood and gore, are BAD. Maybe not quite the "spawn of Satan", but not all that far off from it in my view. The same goes for movies.
Games with sexual content in them = always bad (as far as I know).
Disagree with me if you will, but that's how I'm going to continue to think.
Oh, and Lizard Dude: I don't think SushieBoy really meant "bland fun". I suspect his choice of words was just a little off.
