Because of the subjectivity of saying what violence is worse, I'd recommend checking out some gameplay videos to decide for yourself. From what I've seen, it looks somewhat cartoonishly styled as opposed to gritty with severed heads and such.

Same Epic.

From the Kotaku review of Bulletstorm comes what may be the greatest sentence ever crafted by man:

If these pissmaggot fucksticks are the most highly trained soldiers in the space army then we're talking about a galaxy full of shitbirds that could be conquered in a day by goddamn Melmac.

What's not to get about the reviews for Bulletstorm? They mostly agree that the game looks excellent and is a lot of fun to play regardless of the immature dialog which can be funny at times. and the "Kill with skill" tag-line is all about finding various creative ways to score as many points as possible.

Those 2 Worlds II screens look pretty good. I hope there's a good sale on this game somewhere down the road.

Also holy shit at that Skyrim trailer. My anticipation made my pants burst in merriment.

So, you guys remember that undisclosed reward for naming your 11.11.11-born kid "Dohvakiin"? Turns out one Bethesda dude spilled the beans on specifics, and apparently the reward consists on free Bethesda games. Forever.

All Beth Soft games ever made and that will ever be.

@ the new UBI game. I'd have no complaints playing it with her. I'm surprised Nintendo would actually allow something like this on their system. Personally I think it's great that something like this is coming out as it further removes gaming as just a 'kids hobby'.
