February 20, 200917 yr ^True. A lot of people really are quite jumpy when it comes to videogame subjects. Admitted, there are people who play a game and then say: "let's do that for real", like when some kids played GTA and then tok their dads gun and started shooting at cars. But those people are in the minority. I think the only factor that should count with games, is if the people who play can get along with it in a healthy way. There's an M rating on it for a reason, aka not meant for kids. ;) Still doesn't stop parents from buyin them for the kids. <--Owns over 20+ M rated games and not once attempted to murder.. Hey I only said murder. Wouldn't that be the store's fault, or that of the parent's? I mean, I too own several M-Rated games, notably Diablo and Diablo II, and I have owned them for many, many years, but you can't fault a video game or movie company for this. It's the parents who are making the decision that their children are mature enough (which can be right or wrong, depending on the situation), and the customers who are sneaking into the movies and lying about their age, and the employees at those retailers and theaters who aren't doing a good job checking.

All the clerk asked was "are you 17?" My friend doesn't look 17+, but said yes, and got the movie. Just because your friend bought a film rated R doesn't mean that it is suitable for kids, just that alot of places are lax on checks when selling adult rated films/games to kids.
