Episode published on Monday 4th of December, 2006.
Leon, or should I say the player, has no problem with breaking into other people's property and stealing all their worldly material wealth. Okay, so the local population has turned into brainless zombie things, but it's the principle of the thing.
I'm exaggerating about the faeces as well. Resident Evil 4 is a very brown game with many earthy textures, but the smears on bedclothes and tables are implied to be dirt or dried blood rather than human excrement. I'm also exaggerating about cow tipping; you can't do that in RE4. I know a couple of other games where you can, though. Oh, the giddy thrill of picking on defenceless farmyard animals!
I don't think there was any cannibalism in RE4. I added it here because I obviously have issues. Subconsciously, I must have been thinking "wow, this game has everything in terms of grossness and scares. All it is missing is a little bit of Soylent Green".

Subtitle - vi. "Local Cuisine"
(The Captain runs off, while Pain strokes his chin thoughtfully.)
Captain: I'm going to take this opportunity to break into every house and steal everything of value!
Pain: If you must. I'll tag along and investigate at the same time.
(The Captain approaches a ground-level window with a big grin on his face.)
Captain: We'll start with this...
(The grin disappears as Pain joins him.)
Captain: ...Oh.
Pain: What?
(The Captain gestures toward the window.)
Captain: Take a look in there.
(The inside of the small house is covered with puddles of ooze, each a different and worrying shade of brown. The two stare inside, mouths gaping.)
Both: Eww!
Captain: On second thoughts, I'll stay out here, where there's less shit.
(Pain sticks a thumb out and gestures behind him with it, towards a cow.)
Pain: Good. And don't get any ideas about tipping over that cow, either.
Captain: Aww, no fun!
(The Captain is promptly distracted by a small plastic outdoor camping table, its top covered with strips of meat.)
Captain: ...Hey! Beef jerky!
Pain: (scratching his head) Erm. That ain't beef.
Captain: (chomping through a couple of the meat strips) Hmm?
(Pain is studying the bonfire, where two bodies are tied to the wooden stake in the middle of the roaring fire. One of the bodies is wearing a police uniform.)
Pain: It's roasted Spanish policeman.
Captain: ...
(Pain lowers his glasses as he studies the other burning body. It's that of a skinny man in a suit.)
Pain: And this appears to be the slowly barbequing corpse of Don Salvatore. Bugger.
(The Captain pauses for a moment.)
Captain: ...Meh!
(He continues to snack on the strips of meat.)
Pain: I seriously worry about you sometimes.
Captain: Mmm. Tastes like chicken!
Episode tagline: You know why most meat tastes of chicken? Morphogenic fields. Now, you have no idea what that means, but come tomorrow when you tell your friends this you'll feel as smart as hell.
