what a tool ,stay in your compound and shut up.

Best publicity ever!

Maybe the software houses should pay the likes of cliff richard to denounce games like these, surest way to make kids run to them....

Someone send him a copy of Bonetown, then he'll appreciate what offensive is ;-)

If you just looked at the score card at the back of the report you'd see it's actually quite informative and it probably good for parenst - it might stop them buying GTA4 and other games for 12 year olds - they have 18 certifcates for a reason. This would actually help the industry if parents understood what they were actually buying. Some things parents won't mind like the use of tobacco but they'd be far more informed about the content before providing young kids with it.

How many parents would buy a Saw film for 12 year old? almost zero but the number the buy gta4 for them is far too high.

Forget for a second its done by US evangelists. The comments about the games actually shows that they've played the games unlike many of the stupid articles you see about.

@4

Yes, that is true to an extent. Consumer knowledge of age suitability in gaming is undoubtedly an area of concern. But it's hard to take a report such as this seriously when games are black-listed for references to homosexuality, no?

IF anything, the parents buying their 12 years olds a copy of GTA4 need to learn how to read the badge that says 18... not to be more familiar with the content. As JD said, it's 18 for a reason...

@5 It just informs people about the content in the game; its up the the people that buy the games to decide if a catergory is relevant. The score cards have seperate columns for sex, nudity and ***/lesbian as well as violence, alcohol etc...

Personally I don't have a problem with games that contain a lot of violence due to content such as world war 2 but don't have the same view with some of the violence in games like gta4 but the ratings give seem to be based on the quantity rather than the context. If you read the game descrptions they sum up the contents well though so you can make an informed decision.

The games are hardly blacklisted - they're not the critirea for age ratings it's just info. Army of Two for example only gets a rating of 1 our for 3 for *** / Lesbian content because there's not much but it's there. It's certainly not a make or break decision for me but it may be for others. You'd also find that many evangelists don't have a problem with it either but a lot do. It's a lot easier to take seriously than the Daily Mail for example who seem to chase headlines over fact.

@ SIX
Why do you post?And are you 18?And do actually get MCV?Questions,Questions my little drummer............

There is one easy solution.

Dont let idiots have children...

The amount of parents that come into my store to buy GTA for there under 10 I find shcking.. and when you point it out they are almost offended that you have pointed out there terrible parenting skills.

Parents need to learn a few things..

LEARN TO READ !!!!

LEARN TO CARE !!!

TAKE AN INTEREST IN YOUR CHILDREN !!!

Dont even dare to think.. oh i dont understand these things...

If you dont understsad these things you really should not be bringing up children.

Not being funny TORC, my comment related to the topic, it was valid and it has been backed up by someone who actually works in retail.

You comment bares no relevance to anything...

Hmm reading this list makes me see the homo erotic subtext in many other games mario luigi "Brothers?" Sonic and Tails Gears of War, Even Tetris! Gotta love absurd logic you can prove anything. Oh and on topic so many parents ignore age warnings maybe this will make some think *sigh*

Are there *** bits in Army of Two?

For such a morally upright organisation, they certainly used a rather dodgy photograph for their guide.

I know it's childish, but it does appear like the guy could be 'inappropriately touching' himself behind the child's head.
Would they use the same image if the man was replaced by a woman with her blouse unbuttoned, her hand on her crotch & a smile of pleasure on her face?

I can't believe they have the gall to flag Gran Turismo 5 for sexual content in a document with such a dodgy photograph as the title page. Talk about hypocrisy.

"fingered...homo-erotic content"... ;-)
