I heard about this situation a while ago, when Half-Life first shipped. Apparently the Germans made a big stink about it being too violent, so the enemies were all changed into robots or spurted green blood.
Although they take it a little too far, in my opinion some of the games that make it onto the market are just ridiculous. I mean, when we have some games like Soldier of Fortune II or Postal, with their selling point based around extreme violence, I really think measures need to be taken to keep them from younger gamers.
