[quote=Anonymous]Have you ever played a video game? Unfortunately, you cannot judge a game by the rating. For example, most parents are fine with Halo. It carries the same rating as GTA, a game that shouldn't be in anyone's house. They are very, very different yet both received the same Rated M label. Parents are uninformed. You need to play with your child before you decide what is and is not appropriate. If you decide not to allow a game, use the opportunity to explain your reasoning to your child. Banning all video games or all rated M games just makes them attractive. It becomes like crack to those kids. I've seen it. We have an XBox that my kids might play once or twice a week. My youngest (12) has a friend who doesn't have video games at home. All that child wants to do when he is here is play XBox. It's gotten to the point where my son doesn't even invite him over anymore. [/quote]
