i don't think they do.
Some kid isn't gonna "get violent" all of a sudden because of some game that is about something that is already happening in the news, movies, or TV already... Justin £¤¥¤£™ |

QUOTE Then should violent games only be available to children who possess this level of maturity? But then again, how many children are that mature? Yes. For something like GTA, probably next to none.. that's why its rated M (although far too many kids get their hands on it..) QUOTE There is a reason for these Ratings on video games. Sure, not all abide by them, but truly, who could play a game and feel they have to go out and kill people? If you really imitate something you see on TV or in a video game your parents arent teaching you properly. Maybe it cant be controlled what you do, play, and watch by your parents, but they CAN teach you the difference between reality and make believe. Mario - Make believe Pac-Man - Make believe GTA - Crap....and make believe I understand your point.. but the thing is, video games and technology have advanced so far in their realism.. we're talking VIOLENT video games here, not Mario or Pac Man.. With these next generation consoles, the games are DESIGNED to look REAL, and will have an effect on children |
