full story

good thing my parents arnt concerned.

Yea, I saw the article on Yahoo! I'm guessing thats where you got it from?

But yea, these articles are so biased. It should say: CLICK ONLY IF YOU ARE A STUCK UP PARENT WHO BABY'S THEIR KID TO DEATH.

K I'm done.

The cashiers aren't going to care what games you buy when you are with a parent. I was playing rated M games since I was like 11 and there's really nothing wrong with me. I think it's stupid when people are going to tell parents which games they shouldn't buy for their kid.

Unless they're mentally retarded, theres really nothing wrong with under 17's playing games like that.

I hate when I read things like this

I played saga saturns version of doom when I was about 6-7, and GTA-2 when i was 11-12. I'd like to think it didn't corrupt my mind too much.

Playing Grand theft auto makes me happy whereas playing powerpuff girls makes me want to run outside, steal a car and then shoot up the neighborhood.

DoyouseewhatIdidthere?

what

lol i dont understand

Notice how almost every single on of those games listed (the first list) is a good game?

Yesidoseewhatyoudidtheretbh.

But yea, wtf?

Im sorry but i feel right at home knowing that my little pixel sniper rifle is capable of making a sweet little ping noise when i get a headshot on CoD4 or better yet when my pixel chainsaw goes through a pixel monster spewing out pixel blood....


THERE PIXELS GET OVER IT.

Lol at the alternatives
I played mafia, gta, james bond, etc when I was like 10.. I'm pretty sure that didn't cause any harm so far

Thats what I was thinking

Left 4 Dead? Really?

They don't want to encourage kids to go out and start shotgunning zombies now?

And yeah, some pretty sweet games in that list.

Spiderman: Web of Shadows beats Gears of War 2 hands down.

Lol @ list

I'd like to think that if I were a parent, I'd be able to calmly explain why the NIMF is chatting some serious rubbish.

Blitz: The League II
Kids - don't play video games where people get hurt - watch the NFL and SHUT YOUR EYES if someone's leg gets snapped in half.

Fallout 3
Well, either it never happens, in which case there's nothing to worry about, or there's a nuclear war and this prepares you for the aftermath. If you're not, y'know, dead. And statistically speaking kids, in event of an all out nuclear war, neither you nor your copy of Shaun White Snowboarding are going to make it.

Far Cry 2
If a mysterious villain starts stirring up tensions between warlords in an underdeveloped country you should bury your head in the sand and shout "LALALALALA" until he goes away. The moral of this game is that if you join the UN Peacekeeping corps, you get paid to do this kind of thing.

Gears of War 2
Dead Space
Resistance 2
Kids, this is a most serious problem. If aliens ever visit us and all we do is play video games about shooting aliens, they're going to be really worried and probably invade us. If they weren't going to anyway. But if they do, playing these will help you wage a solo war as the last of your species quite well.

Legendary
DON'T SHOOT THE GRYPHONS - THEY'RE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES


Saints Row 2
Does anyone else notice that this game being immoral fails in rural areas? It's not really the same trying to be G if everyone in a small village has loads of money. Plus, how many rival gangs are you really going to come up against when there are 20 houses around?

Silent Hill: Homecoming
Not as bad as the original Silent Hill. Now playing that alone on a dark night was scary. And being scary was the only reason I bought the game.
Left 4 Dead
But to the point in hand - zombies aren't real. If they are, we're all gonna be a few IQ levels short of retardation anyway, so why worry?

So kids, play whatever the hell you like, because either it's never going to come true - and therefore you're unlikely to suffer the kind of full breakdown which produces paranoia to the point of believing everyone's a zombie - or it is, and you're well prepared.

why is NFL or something so interested over a few pixels....its not like someone acts like he's Link after playing Ocarina of Time...

Tell that to me when I was 4 And yet I still like playing with slingshots and bows, 9 years later, but lots of kids do. Projectiles are fun when you're the one using them

What does the National Football League have to do with anything?

blitz the leauge is like football but worse. My friend told me you can take your helment off and throw it at the other team mate. If your team is doing bad you can inject them with steriods. Some of the "missions" thingys you have to do is like escape the ally. And every time you succsefuly complete something you get, well stuff that make lonley men happy. Kids dont play this game!

Darth Irule, that sounds like a whole lot of bull. The game is about the sport and maybe a bit of fighting. If there's a kid that actually gets violant because of any of these games it's not because of the game, but there's something wrong with the child.

beleve me my friend never lies... dont beleve me if u want to.

Lol'd at Rob

Notice how all those games are Xbox/PS3 games. Personally, I'm playing through No More Heroes on my Wii now and its Foxgloveing gorey

@Death irule - gtfo plz.

Probably the most savage game ever made was manhunt.

Watching some videos on it i was actually quite disturbed.

(For those who dont know. A 17 year old boy from england killed a 14 year old which was thought to be related to him being obsessed with manhunt.)

From wiki

Violence by games my arse.



Sounds like the guy used drugs reguarly and at a moment he was out of drugs so he killed someone for it. And maybe the game just gave him an idea how to kill him rather than being the reason for the murder.

The game is still related to the incident anyway. An idea taken from a video game is people being influenced by video games, and sometimes violence. Although video games should never be "a way out" for officials of the law.

Whats next, World of Goo promotes bad hygiene?

I bet 99% of all murderers watch television. Things on the telly often include violance. Why not blame television? Because everybody watches it thus making it more familiar. Gaming however is something which is fairly new and alot of people of the age 40 and higher don't play games alot. People fear change.

Lol GTA San Andreas. I was pushing it because I knew it was bad. Then it got rated A? It went too far in there. GTA 4 is better. (As in dirty, but less dirty. =])

Lol post time difference 4 months 5 hours and 14 seconds...
PS: A game kids should never play is real life. It's very violent and corrupts the innocent.

I have an addition to the list:
Team Fortress 2, if the kid has a mic.
I hate hearing 7-year-olds spamming the mic.

Probably shouldn't play 7-year old games on your part then.

um... Team Fortress 2 was released October 10 2007, not 2002.

You miss read it... games 7 year olds play.

you should make your meaning clearer

No you should learn to read my mind.

GTA:SA,I played that before,but I didn't played ever because my computer had no games like that. Because I was retired playing GTA games.

They should also stay away from counter-strike

Tao why did you record yourself? That was halarious but you made yourself look like a fool.

You forgot Runescape

Sir, that was ineffectual. Get back to me when you learn how to spell. I won't be creating drama here.

HEY GUYS I'M INSULTING SOMEONE AM I COOL YET
GUYS
AM I COOL YET
I WANT TO BE COOL
PLEASE GUYS I WANT TO BE COOL

;_;

Silly Drerven. You can never be as cool as Trees.

Apparently the spell check for linux sucks. Usually I'm to brain dead after work so I depend on it... lol I fail.

Oh darn. I was really trying for that too.

All of them saying bad words.This video must be true.

Maybe that says something about the game you are playing?




....

I would've thought Bioshock as a younger child would be quite extreme?

Lmao Actually that is so true. I laughed so hard when I read that. Powerpuff girls makes you feel like a loser and you should do something to change that therefore steal a car and shoot up a neighborhood. However Grand Theft Auto already has that on your TV so it does the job.
