Well, it’s a good thing she obviously knows what she’s talking about, with the most recent violent games and all. It would be silly to bring up games from nearly three years ago.
Honestly, I feel like I saw this exact same list last year. Somebody didn’t want to do any more research on the topic?
8. Resident Evil 4
“Shoot outs involving massive crowds of enemies in large open areas. A typical play-through can result in the killing of up to 900 enemies.”
She fails to mention that those enemies are zombie-like creatures controlled by parasites not human beings.
