Rockstar hasn't innovated GTA since GTA3

It's hardly a crucial matter, but after recently playing the European version of No More Heroes - the assassination actioner from Killer 7 creator Suda 51 - we're a bit miffed about the lack of bloody violence. Especially since Suda had always promised the game could be "even more violent than Manhunt 2".
Ah. But that appears to refer to the American version, which features decapitations, ludicrously brilliant fountains of blood and other ultraviolent combat consequences. In Europe, we'll be playing the 'dead bodies turn to black ash' version, which is also released in Japan.
Why? Well, we asked the chaps who showed us the game, from publisher Rising Star Games, if the decision had been influenced by the BBFC's refusal to grant Manhunt 2 a Euro release. "Maybe," was their terse answer. Hmmm.

Honestly, I think it might be the fact that there isn't really a lot of interesting games coming out on the DS of late. After the explosion that was Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, what other games have created as much discussion?

Looking at the DS, the most interesting titles coming out in the next few months are Professor Layton and Advance Wars 4. Not that they are weak titles but they don't cause much discussion.
