I kind of have ethical problems with Shadow of the Colossus - or any game that asks me to kill 10+ unique creatures on the promise of resurrecting some bimbo.
[spoiler]I just can't support the genocide of 10+ species - and I would've seen through that "sorcerer's" lies from the start anyways. From what I've gathered the "sorcerer" promises to revive your dead bimbo if you kill 10+ monsters that are "terrorising the land" but actually the creatures are the things keeping the "sorcerer" trapped - 'cos he's actually the bad guy you see - so you just committed 10+ counts of genocide - killing ten good creatures for a "sorcerer" who was never gonna revive your bimbo anyways.[/spoiler]
So leave the animals alone - 'kay?
Obligatory "play the game first (or at least know it correctly)" defense.

As for your ethical problems with the game, I think you missed the whole point. The ethical problems are the main part of the games story line. You're supposed to have them. It sounds like you had the ending of the game spoiled for you and decided never to play it.
Yeah sorry I haven't actually played this game - somebody else gave me the lowdown on it a while ago and I was completely turned off of the whole thing.
I guess I err on the side of protecting and treasuring animal/monster life (probably something to do with being a Pokemon addict) - games that are all about mindless destruction and emotionless killing stopped being even remotely entertaining to me a long time ago.
I just hate macho
"Oh look at me - I can kill a creature ten times the size of me - so I'm a real man!" bullshit really.
Pokemon is a game about capturing wild animals, sticking them in little balls and making them beat the crap out of each other. You seem to be kinda selective about what games are about destruction and killing and which aren't.
Pokemon
faint - I can't think of anything that is actually "killed" in the Pokemon games (maybe Cubone's mother).
You train the creatures to reach their maximum potential (at least I do) - therefore it is about having a positive, nurturing influence upon something.
Positive and nurturing being
opposite to destruction and killing.
Or do you disagree/do I care?

Um - how many people joined just to have a go at me? Where do I get paid for this?
