I understand that realism is always the objective in games and virtual worlds, but this just doesn't seem good in a "real" world that already has too much violence in it. It's depressing, and it makes me wish that there were a rating board for game hardware now - or some sort of disclaimer or other tool that could at least give parents the opportunity to stop and think before they buy a gun-type controller. Maybe Nintendo has something like that in the works. I hope so. "Show less«
