I'm gonna step in and defend my favorite series. Silent Hill 4 isn't THAT violent... It is the most violent in the series (refer to my argument with Volt for info on my perspective) but it still belongs pretty far down the list... There is no dismemberment and the "body parts" are just environment, as is most of the blood... The violence was upped because of the murders, but there were so many games that have murders in them, most of which were more violent than the murders in SH4...
It's the array of techniques so that it touches more fears that creates this idea that it is more violent... One character was just bloody (no punctures visible), one was burned (that's been in too many games to name, many of which you do the burning), one electrocuted (this was the hardest to deal with for me) one was drowned, and one... Well, I won't give away the last one, but I think Metal Gear Solid 2 was gorier than Silent Hill 4... I don't really consider the bloody motif to be "violence" because it is just there, and not really coming from a source... Its' not like the blood came from a person or animal that you observed dying, it just shows up in rooms for no reason... That's just a scare tactict... Of course, that's just my opinion... Even with that, SH4 has less of that that the first and third games, and even with the amount that 3 had, it is still not #2 on the list...
By the way, I love MGS2...
As for "Prince of Persia", the previous games were not bloody or gory, but the newest one earned an M rating, for gore I believe...
