Im My opinion Most TV Shows have more murders & Rapes Than games. when a programme shows a child being abused they are given a pat on the back for showing such a taboo subject but games are seen as bad for just having a bit of blood in them

I think it's only natural for people in television to feel 'threatened' by computer games - not because our products are becoming more violent, but because they are becoming more popular. The threat is to their pocket lining, not their moral fibre.

TV will do anything to try to draw attention away from the depth, meaning, stories and narrative increasingly found in modern games, as many of these interactive storylines already rival and surpass the tired frameworks employed in some TV dramas.

If anything TV, with its slew of cheap reality TV programs and phone in quiz shows, is having a far more negative effect on society by dumbing down its output in favour of producing intelligent, well written TV. The result? Millions of viewers slouched infront of the television becoming slowly braindead, being less active and who are generally more intrested in who of the same old tiresome people is going to win th X-Factor rather than actually learning or enjoying something of merrit.

TV is in no postion to speak of the 'moral high ground'.

This will be the boss of ITV who on sunday are showing at 3:05pm Beverly Hills Cop, now okay its nothing much by todays standards but it has a 15 Cert by those good people at the BBFC and while its been sometime since I saw it, I'm pretty sure poor Steven Berkoff dies quite violently at the end of the film. Perhaps his schedulers live in the same "moral vacuum" asthe game creators!

I don't agree TV shows are much more voilent as games, Plus it's real people doing these violent things not animated characters.

I think that computer games rule!!
And TV should burn to hell!!

Ok lets face it, how much violence is in films ? Most contain at least a car chase with guns, thats what makes it exciting. So, that is what the games industry has done. Although their is the water shed at 9:00 in todays age how many kids are in bed by that time ?? Consoles have perental Blocks these work by reading the age rating and if it is too high the console refuses to play the disc.

Does anyone still watch TV? Theres so much **** on it, I honestly cant remember I turned it on to watch anything, apart from football!

i suppose you dont get as immersed in tv as you would a game, mainly because you are actually taking part in a game.
I myself dont like censorship but if things carry on like they are you will probably find it getting more and more strict.
It seems an 18 rated game or film, doesn't mean anything now days, if for example a shop wont sell that 18 rated game/film to a 10 year old, does that mean he wont get someone else to buy it?? ***s and booze have been set a 16 and 18 for years, yet i still see kids drinking and smoking.......... they get them from somewhere dont they??

This just shows how out of touch Michael Grade is with the real world. The truth is that only 5% of games are rated as 18. And their content is rated as 18. These games should never get into childrens hands in the first place! What we really need to look at as a society, is why parenting has become so poor.
I find the way he steroeotypes game developers as a whole, very disturbing. Surely all game developers must have a huge lack of morals? Especially those 'sick minded' developers behind sonic, mario and crash.
