Does any game even exist with the quality of graphics of Dracula:Resurrection?

Don't always trust ratings. The people who rate the games are likely not Christian, or at least not rating them from Christian guideline. It's a secular rating system based on what society deems to be appropriate for certain ages to see. I generally completely ignore rating systems. I read reviews of games and judge the content based on that.

There's no direct cursing of God that I can think of in it, nor should there be. The game is set in a fantasy universe government by nine "gods", which are much closer to the gods of Greek/Roman mythology than a monotheistic creator God. The common curse that you see abbreviated as "[wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]" is "by the nine" in Oblivion. I guess if you disapprove of reading Homer's Odyssey, you might also disapprove of this game. Of course, if that's the case, I question as to why you're playing a game featuring Dracula in it.

The sexual themes are quite mild; especially compared to anything on TV. I don't remember the language being any worse than on a PG-13 movie.

As Jesus said (paraphrase), it's not what goes into your body... but what comes out. Oblivion is an RPG where you can choose to be a good or evil character. If you choose good, you won't see much or any of the stuff that gave it its "M" rating. If you choose to be evil, you will end up doing quests to learn dark magic, steal things, murder people, etc. It's a game where you choose what sort of character you are. I completely recommend it if you're interested in RPGs at all.

BTW, the graphics in NiBiRu are good... but already a bit dated. There is better out there, believe it or not! BTW, do you even know what Nibiru means? If you did, and you're so opposed to curing in games, I'm surprised you'd go near anything with that name. It's directly linked to Assyrian/Babylonian mythology, which is still well alive today I might add!

LOL, you wonder why Dracula doesn't offend me? Because Dracula(vampires/werewolves) is "not real" made -up,and I'm talking old school Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney characters I love, not the modern gore/inappropriate content of today! Nor do I touch so-called Christian Paranormal crap as a lover of Christian romance fiction, I won't even go there!

What you said about the 'secular' ratings system makes total sense,but I had never thought about it anyway before yesterday. Until I played Syberia,I had never in my 30+ years of gaming on consoles and PC ever played a game with cursing! I didn't think it even existed in the kinds of games I like,but now I'm really leery of the other Large File Adventure Games like I wonder if these are free of it?....

and the problem is that neither game vendors nor reviewers (Gamezebo or Game Spot) even mention such content,so there is no way to know if it's present in such a game. Now Amazon and Best Buy online at least give it's ERSB rating but as I've learned with the "Teen" rating for Syberia and NiBiRu ,that's pretty meaningless in the "secular" world!

As for what NiBiRu means, no I have no idea what it means,and I've never analyzed a game before (Baldur's Game II:Shadows Of AMN is a fav- and I don't believe in magic spells), especially not it's title,but I guess in today's world maybe that is another consideration for a Christian gamer!

Mystery Case Files :Ravenhearst and Return To Ravenhearst plus Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor are some of my favorite HOG and they are ghost-themed stories which I also don't believe in,so such things are fantasy to me,and don't bother me,although I am sick of so many being ghost/magic/or occult based,and I do stay away from ones with demons in the theme.
