It seems that everything is allowed, as long as it takes place in a video game. Random acts of violence, murder, sex and moral depravity.
When the original Carmageddon was released, it triggered an avalance of protests from government officials, concerned parents and census bureau's alike. It's shifted our concept of what was allowed and what wasn't.
And now it seems that there's no limit. Games like Silent Scope arrive. Games that sell because of acts that are highly illegal in real life. What's next?
The "Who wants to be a rapist" game?
The "Sex with the Dead 2" game?
The "Pedofile" game?
I think that we need strict guide lines for what's allowed.

Silent scope is not the most violent game. Look at Resident Evil, Conkers BFD they are more volent than that.
