“It’s every parent’s right to choose what their kids can and can’t consume; whether your talking food, drugs, books, tv, movies or videogames.”

Not true when it comes to drugs, if you’re talking illegal drugs. If the parents and the kids live on their own planet I think they can do whatever the **** they want. Just not when others have to deal with it.

Truely right. But I would like to know what the definition of a kid is. 16? 14? 5? 10?

I mean can’t they say something like not for anyone who is younger than a teenager? Just really putting it straight.

It’s kids that do not know the differece between what is reality and what is fantasy that are the problem. And their parents, or lack thereof are to blame for that.

I played GTA 3 at 13 or 14, and knew full well it was fiction. The kids in my high school class that went out and picked fights were people who played sports, and if they played any games they would be sport related.

It’s sad, but you’re right. I read this article and found it entirely full of truth, nothing left to be said on the matter. GG GameCritics.

He has really got it right at GameCritics — just don’t let young people who are not responsible on or with what they play or watch, or even listen to — play this game — it really is as simple as that — good on them…
