Bionic Commando has Resident Evil 5 to thank for 'M' rating

Bionic Commando might not be a top seller, but Dead Rising and Lost Planet has a cult fallowing and probably will do well! The only down side for Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2 is that they might stay 360 exclusive... which would suck for me, but what ever.

Well, I'm buying Bionic Commando and Lost Planet 2 but didn't buy RE5, SF4 or DMC4.

i saw Bionic Commando at Wondercon.. Wasn't too impressed with the graphics but the gameplay seems OK.

"Bad news for some, but good news for us who want one more reason to feel superior to 15-year-olds."

The funny thing is, that's the actual mindset of alot of those commenters you find on here and similar sites that brag about their M-rated gaming. The worst part is they most likely are 15 year olds.

I doubt it should matter if they are million sellers. As long as they are good games, sales numbers shouldn't matter to the gamers! :P

Man, DMC4 is fun. I've been playing the hell out of it on PS3. Seems like it didn't make too big a splash at retail, though--did it really sell over a million? I found it on the bargain bin..

I have to agree. I remember having the first Mortal Kombat on PC when I was eight. My parents got it for me for Christmas!

Oh yes, it was awesome. Mortal Kombat: blood, fatalities, spike pit and all.

Why is it when a deranged kid goes on a rampage after playing Grand Theft Auto, its always the Playstation that gets blamed? ... I mean don't shoot the messenger lol.

But you were saying every kid plays games now... and I agree, its not good. I went round to someones house the other day the kid there was playing GTA San Andreas... In my opinion the worst one of all of them to expose to an impressionable teen. Sure enough he's picked up the gangsta attitude despite being white as a snowman, but more than that. I was quite disturbed at how much he was relating to it... More than a normal kid would. To be a gangster is now his life aspiration! :O

His mum had no control over it at this point, despite how much she tried. Ya know... Without actually getting rid of the damn game. *rolls eyes*

I used to play Doom when I was 6 or 7, and I never wanted to be a Space Marine or pop some homies. It really should be just the smarter kids... :(

It depends on the child. I've played violent FPSes and crime games like Mafia and GTA since I was 11 and apart from the odd fit of rage in which I dismember small animals with my bare hands, they've not affected me at all.

superior to a 15 year old? dude I was playing RE5 online with an EIGHT YEAR OLD. really why do we even bother with ratings again?

Give it a break. RE5 is a good game and, while not as solid as its predecessor, it'll still probably end up being better than Bionic Commando.

What? You could fucking blow Hitler's head up!
