Yea but thats why you rent games and see how it is? I mean GTA isn't suitable for kids like you said. So why not rent it from blockbuster? if its THERE though. Watch him play, if its bad take it back the next day or later that day/night.

I agree, its quite annoying to have your parents think that playing a game can make you change into a total blood tirsty monster.

But instead of them randomly assuming if the game compleatly wrong for there child...they could take the time to LOOK at the game and see if its ok.

I understand your point, but don't criticize Shakespeare.

Hey buddy, I'm not criticizing shakespeare, I'm using his brilliant work of art as a point towards my reasoning.



Yeh, anmd the funny thing is, I'm not allowed to get t sometimes or m, but I'm allowed to watch PG-13 and even R movies, sometimes. I've seen Saving private Ryan, Boune Identity, and other action movies that contain the same stuff that I'm not allowed to buy in video games.

I understand your point. Like Don said, It has never happened to me, but I understand where you're coming from though. I mean my friend is 16, and his parents won't let him play M rated games. He has to come over my house, just to play freakin Halo.
