For "Fans Only" is the verdict for Dark Messiah in GameZilla's review. Here's the opening paragraph:
Dark Messiah: Might & Magic is the sixth title in the Might & Magic franchise, and the games have come a long way from the kind of paper cut-out elves, unicorns, and cartoon blood splashes of the original. Now what you have is a visually photo-realistic First Person Slasher with beheadings, dismemberment and a goal to save the world in there somewhere. The M rating is well-placed and if there was an M-plus-plus then this game would qualify. But its realism, the argument goes. Well this is a fantasy game. If it is then it must take place in a fantastic universe where every character -- even the holed-up, anemic undead ones, which you would think would die in a puff of dust, realistically speaking -- carries an extra quart or two of the red stuff just for decorative gushing and spurting. This is not a serene game with a kindly wizened mentor; in this one your guide in the early training exhorts you to "Impale him!" and "Kick him against the spikes!" Phew. There must be a lot of bloodlust in the market.

Very true, considering the current discussions about "killergames" in Germany because of a recent amok run ...
 
ridiculous. this discussion reg "killergames" is more than pathetic. the real reason lies in the society and the personal circumstances of these people.
actually, it is vice-versa: they don't become killers because of the games, they play them because they are killers.
prohibition of these games is probably even taking away a vent for these people and so they kill even more.
what about other medias?
