im sorry but theres age limits for a reason, if parents decide to buy 18's for 13 year olds then they should be the ones to get in trouble not everyone else. With the internet related items well you can set up parental locks on the internet to stop your kids from coming across it all. If you can't be bothered to use any of the provided software or stick to age limits then its your own fault. Parents are to blame for buying it for there kids im sorry but thats fact. The reason manhunt is an 18 is because its very violent but yet parents still buy it for there kids and then complain about it well im sorry but its your own fault

I completely agree. There is an age rating system for a reason and if parents or whoever are to ignorant to realize that the media in question is intended for adults then it is their own fault. There will always be the odd person who acts on something they have seen or read or heard but all we can do with that is be vigilant. If you start censoring where does it end? Do we ban all books incase they make someone go out and kill someone? Do we ban all movies because of the same reason? Some people would want us to sit in a little grey room staring at a wall so that there is no chance of hurting anyone. Censorship on this level is ridiculous. If you don't like it then don't buy it. It has an age rating for a reason.

thank you for understanding my rant. its like with music theres no age limit on them just a sticker saying parental advisery. so artists like 50 cent swearing every other sentance i think the main concern should be looking at this instead of games which have a age rating on them.

Hit it right on the Head. The Solution to all this is the Parents they don't monitor some of their childrens actvities. Some still don't know how to set a timer on a VCR. It is so pathetic. I mean on all the New Next Gen Systems such as the (Wii,PS3,XBOX360) If the Parents put the Parental Controls up then even if they bought an M rated game for their children and they had set it to T for teen then the system would reject the game and wouldn't play without the Parental Control Password. One way I could think to make force Parents to take an active role in what their kids do (Which sucks for Children) is that only parents could purchase consoles and upon Purchase would be given a Key specific to each console and without it no game will play until a Parental Control has been choosen. Then if they were to lazy to input the code and gave it to there kid to do or quickly put it to E for everyone just to rush it thru it so the kids could play they would be the only held responsible for when their child killed or claimed the famous line of ......

"The Videogame Made me do it"

The previous comments concering age ratings etc. hit the nail right on the head. If a child is able to get access to an 18 rated game (eg. Manhunt, Grand Theft Auto, Doom etc.) then it is rhe parents who are at fault. The comments about parental control on PCs and consoles is correct as well. You can lock a PC or console so that certain types of content can only be viewed/played when a a parental lock code has been input. Those parents who choose not to do this, either through ignorance or beacuse they just do not care, have only goe themselves to blame if little Johnny decides to act out what he sees in the game.

I have been a video games store manager for nearly four years and I can tell you it's frightening what we have to deal with. The biggest hurdle is educating the parent. Parents know about movies but video games, most good parents are oblivious. One example I can give is a 10 year old boy was demanding a copy of Grand Theft Auto with his pocket money. The mother asked me what the game was like and I told her. Sure it was BBFC rated 18 but when I mentioned violence, murder, curb crawling, prostitues, drugs etc - she was horrified. The problem is that most managers are under pressure to sell out of new releases and disuading the customer is against policy. If the parent is buying, it's legal BUT the parent is oblivious. Therefore I would suggest that retailers advise pro-actively and honestly allowing the parent the chance to be educated before making the decision to buy. These titles fly off the shelves irresponsibly and although the majority go to adults, I am only too aware that young children come into the store proclaiming to have had a slice of the action.
