I remember blood, rag doll physics, dismemberment are not allowed in games, or did they do away with that?

Yes, video games are still classified as "toys" in Germany and have strict guidelines as to how they are presented to Germany's youth.

If they are "toys" why even have them age rated?

As a American, I cannot answer for Germany's government in their understanding of classifying video games. I'm only reporting that they are in fact, still using the same strict measures today that they've always had.

Mario can't even have a mustache in Germany because Hitler's mustache. So yeah.

Yes, all nazi references have been changed to a Wolfenstein symble. Hitler has his mustache removed. The blood and gore are still there, if I recall.

Here is a list of games with censorship. Like halfway down the first page, they get away from the nazi's and start focusing on other censorship (like turning people into robots if they are going to be shot)
http://www.dorkly.com/post/80945/germany-censorship

The mario mustache might have been something I read that might not have been true, but I can attest that I didn't just pull it out of my ass. This isn't the first topic about german censorship that I've been in, so I probably read it from one of those.

Sorry to mis inform.
