This is another common misconception; the existence of games like
Splinter Cell and Resident Evil for Nintendo's consoles doesn't
get a lot of notice because Nintendo's own games never go above
a T rating, but they're there.
But yeah, it's been a while since I played a straight-up good vs.
evil game. I bet I've played Animal Crossing (a game with a
higher-than-average musical component, actually) more this past
year than any other game.
Assuming that videogames all have the same shallow theme is kind
of like assuming that all "Heavy Metal, New Age" music will
cause you "to lose the only way to Salvation." It contributes
nothing to the debate and it makes the holder of the assumption
look like a loon.
