| Great idea, but incredibly biased

For example
The movie 300 and the game God of War II both came out around the same time, both feature Spartans killing people and monsters in grotesque ways, tons of blood, and both have very softcore sexual content. Neither has "bad" language.
But while 300 gets an age 16+ and a PAUSE, God of War II gets a 17+ (the highest age rating) and an OFF. This despite the fact that 300 has much more gruesome violence in a much more "real" setting, as opposed to the fantasy violence of Kratos' magic flaming chain-swords. Hell, God of War II even got four stars while 300 only got three. From an artistic merit standpoint, those grades should probably have been reversed.

| That is quite understandable considering how retarted ERSB can be sometimes. Manhunt 2 does have that situation. |

| Well, watching the movie and putting these techniques into practise are two very different things. |
