Now really is that necessary?

I was shopping on the internet last week and stumbled upon a Wii game that looked interesting. Till I took a second look.

"Is that blood on his sword?", I asked myself peering at the box cover. "Is that blood?" "Is that blood?", I asked at every flip of the preview screens.

Yeah, it was blood. Blood and gore.

I read the description. The game glorified blood and gore at every turn.

I read the preview. Several of the gamers complained about the gratuitous violence without a story line or plot. One review said all he expected out of the game was blood and gore and he was still shocked by what he saw.

Maybe we need a new rating system for games - one that includes PU for What a stinker!
