" @The_Laughing_Man:  "advertisement" is such a crass word.  "Self promotion" maybe?    Honestly though,  would you prefer if I sneakily posted a link and description and pretended it wasn't mine? "

Soooo... advertisement? 

For some reason I thought this post would be about the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  Now I am sad.

Ever wondered if there is enough blood, sex and magic in your video games? 
 
I decided to look in to alternative sources of game information. Specifically Censor reports and Christian websites.

It's an old cliché that American censors are more hung up on sex, while the Brits are more bothered about violence; a comparison of the reports often backs this up. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 feels the wrath of the BBFC for its "moderate violence" and the report goes into detail about heavy interrogation scenes involving hypodermic needles and knives. The ESRB makes no mention of this at all, but does choose to mention the presence of women in cleavage-revealing outfits.

What makes the British censor reports worth reading are their bizarrely detailed accounts of violence. The above extract from Bayonetta could have simply said "there was a lot of bloody violence," but instead goes into gruesome detail about exactly what horrific delights that gore aficionados can expect. There almost seems to be an air of the critic in this one, expressing disappointment at the lack of realism. Add to this the clinical, bureaucratic tone that seems totally at odds with the subject matter and they often end up reading like the diary of a psychopathic English civil servant.
