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 Yes. Every game has some violence in them, maybe not hardcore gore like GTA, but to an extent its all the same. If an episode of Superman can "cause" a child to jump off a building, then you can imagine what else can influence children. Ok, some violence is alright.. I'm primarily concerned with the more realistic and violent ones.. like GTA or Halo or something An episode of Superman caused a child to jump off a building?
