If Biffed, Do I Not Bleed?

Someone said that they didn't feel that game manufacturers's would lesson the violence in their games. However, I spoke with Tony Hawk after a WebQuest team member said that his skateboarding game was pretty bloody. Apparently, when skaters fell down, their head busted open. When I asked Tony about this, he said there was an option to wear pads when skating. If players wore no pads and they biffed, then of course they would bleed. However, he also said that there was a control to the blood, it could be turned on and off. This just goes to show that games that are not centered around violence can be modified if the creators so choose.
